Yep but it is important to have arguments. I'll show mine, and then it's your turn to convince others. So this is the timeline: - I start the Redis project, BSD. - I get sponsors. - Finally the sponsor becomes Redis Labs. - I continue to develop Redis with my private roadmap, still BSD. - Redis Labs creates modules and other forks with enhanced capabilities, that were mostly out of the scope of the original project. - Redis Labs changes the license of such add-ons to a proprietary one. - The project on Github that everybody is participating to, and the only one I continue to develop, remains BSD. Given the above, it's up to you to tell exactly what went wrong with Redis. If you believe for the story to be right that I had to force Redis Labs to license their code in a specific way, I think your reasoning is odd.
