After the aborted/abandoned attempt to port redis to windows (0) this feels like a second-try at the same thing, but first party.
Of course, as a research project it doesn't have the same stability / support, etc. as redis, but I could easily imagine this rolling into a real product if it's popular.
...and as an MIT license, if nothing else, the code is a fun read. :)

- mordae 3y agoMIT license, but with CLA. It's bizzare. What more rights could they possibly want on top of MIT to warrant CLA?
- orthoxerox 3y agoIt's probably a blanket requirement by the MSFT legal team so they can just release everything as "(c) Microsoft" instead of "(c) Microsoft and 999 more contributors, one of which has actually forgot to put their name in the AUTHORS.txt and thus we're technically violating the terms of the license"
- withinboredom 3y agoYep, the CLA only applies if you want to merge your changes into the project.
- easton 3y agoIIRC, it’s to allow them to relicense contributions in the event they decide to move away from MIT?
