Redis has a BSD license because it was written by antirez who did not intend to make it a commercial enterprise. Today its too late to change and wont help Redis Inc to protect their ip. We looked at elastic, mongodb, cocroach labs, mariadb, redpanda, atlassian, grafana labs , scylladb. The last two are agpl but the motivation is the same: to protect themselves.
