This is incorrect, licenses like MIT or BSD are also free software license because they afford the 4 freedoms to the user (even though they don't enforce them on derivative works).
Licenses like the Redis one are open-source but not free software because they place limitations on the user (can't sell hosted service, IIRC)
- antirez 8y agoRedis is BSD licensed. You mean some Redis module developed independently by Redis Labs that are not part of Redis itself.
