Even if Redis were to change license, the ones who would be to blame are the big cloud providers that re-package OSS products and rent them without giving anything back. They are milking the work out of these projects, taking only the opportunity to make money out of it.
I remember talking to Elastic and they had a similar issue where AWS would take their product, package it and not give anything back (money or patches).
Obviously it's permitted by the license, it doesn't mean that it's right.
- prepend 8y agoWhy would this tweak the developers. Isn’t this precisely what the license they chose was made for to include and allow? In this case Amazon functions like a hosting company. So would you be surprised if a hardware vendor automated the install and patching of Elastic? They’re basically just installing OSS for end users.
