I think the main issue is bait and switch. You start with a license, get lots of external contributors who are working for free, get ecosystem built around it for free and then change because you want to be paid.
- FrustratedMonky 3y agoI agree. I'm not sure how nefarious this Redis move was. I guess I was assuming any move from 'free', to 'paid', will be met with some outcry regardless of how seamless they can pull it off. Or in other words, it is always a messy transition?
- cjbgkagh 3y agoThe issue is they took the name with them. If they forked it with a new name no one would have cared.
- tjpnz 3y agoBait and switch sounds wrong in this context. It's not like they planned this whole thing fifteen years in advance.
- struant 3y agoDoes it matter if you intended to do something nefarious all along, or if you just now saw an opportunity to be nefarious? All that matters is that you are doing something nefarious.
