Open Stack

Hmm...

Today a page about the new Creative Common license in the Redis Labs web 
site was interpreted as if Redis itself switched license. This is not 
the case, Redis is, and will remain, BSD licensed. However in the fake 
news era my attempts to provide the correct information failed, and I’m 
still seeing everywhere “Redis is no longer open source”. The reality is 
that Redis remains BSD, and actually Redis Labs did the right thing 
supporting my effort to keep the Redis core open as usually.

What is happening instead is that certain Redis modules, developed 
inside Redis Labs, are now released under the Common Clause (using 
Apache license as a base license). This means that basically certain 
enterprise add-ons, instead of being completely closed source as they 
could be, will be available with a more permissive license.
