Redis is the original project and it continues, even if the licence change is a bad move. Redict is a brand new fork, currently at the “rename everything” stage. It may or may not succeed at being the “new Redis”. The people behind “old Redis” probably consider this title misleading and possibly defaming their project. Many people may decide to create other forks (I expect OpenRedis from Amazon any second now). (And I’m not a fan of Drew myself.)

> Redis is the original project and it continues For many people, Redis is an open-source in-memory data store. Redict is closer both in spirit and in legal usability to the Redis people have been using for many years compared to whatever got the Redis trademark now. If I do an `apt-get upgrade`, I don't expect to schedule calls with lawyers. I imagine most repos will switch to either this one or some other "renamed" projects, with the package name "redis" pointing to one of those.
