@lucasmz @linux_mclinuxface Yes, alas, with a bunch of caveats about jurisdictions varying. If redis owns the copyright on all of the code they can change the license going forward at any time. Revoking the license on already licensed code is tricky but technically allowed under the BSD license.
@MartyFouts @lucasmz @linux_mclinuxface No it is not. No open source license is revocable. What they are doing is not revoking anything but making a choice to license the new versions with some garbage license only, not the original BSD license, which is something a non copyleft open source license like BSD licenses allows *anyone* to do.
In any case, they've essentially just made a garbage fork of their own product which will be irrelevant in a couple years if not months.

This. If you have a copy of old OSS Redis, including its source code, that's still fully usable under the old terms.
What they're doing is only licensing *new* code under the new bad terms. Which is 100% legal, yeah.
@codefolio @dalias @MartyFouts @lucasmz @linux_mclinuxface Any word on a new fork, or should I just use KeyDB?
