What if Redis Inc think it is and sue you?

  They'd be destroying their community

    Taking an established open-source project with a healthy ecosystem and community and making it proprietary overnight is already destroying their community.

      How is it proprietary? It's using the SSPL which offers copyleft user freedoms
      • gkbrk 3y ago
        You can split software licenses roughly into two, open-source and proprietary. Since SSPL is not open-source, it's considered proprietary.

          What do you consider the AGPL and other copy left licenses? Even the OSI director acknowledges this one needs another look in the fulness of time here

            I consider AGPL open-source. Same with other open-source copy-left licenses like GPL or LGPL.
