This still doesn't sound good. Even I don't like the fact that AWS is extremely bad at giving back to the community but it is not like doing things like this will make people use RedisLabs. Infact, I will be wary of using these modules for the fear of getting locked with a vendor. I have used both Elasticache and RedisLabs and can say both have their advantages and annoyances. Elasticache is way easier to set up and configure. RedisLabs puts a lot of artificial restrictions which you have to work around. Also, their pricing model is kind of screwed up. The only major problems I have seen with Elasticache are: Locked APIs, no way to scale instance once created with live traffic, A-Z failover sucks and no persistence.
