One thing that I've heard being said multiple times towards Redis Labs and other companies with an Open Source product, is (paraphrasing) "Companies make their products Open Source only because it helps massively with adoption, but then they don't want to accept the other implications that come from Open Source licenses". This was often said in an accusatory tone by certain cloud vendors, with the implication that companies like RL wanted to have their cake and eat it too because they were trying to push for licenses that would prevent clouds from selling their OSS product as a service. I leave it to others to decide how much that accusation was justified or not, but I do find it terribly ironic that now Microsoft is essentially faking a proper Open Source governance model for what could be considered the same end: make the product more popular through Open Source.
