But the developers licensed the software at no charge. What kind of compensation are they entitled to then?
Sounds like a case of sellers remorse/take-backsies one of the problems that open source was aiming to solve.
- bramblerose 3y agoThey are not entitled to compensation over their previous work, but you/me/AWS are also not entitled to their _future_ work.
- mahkeiro 3y agoBut when you see that currently Redis is mainly developed by Chinese companies or AWS all of this is rather ironic.
- jamespo 3y ago5% of contributions is not “mainly” from AWS
- ufocia 3y agoNot sure what you meant. Is it wrong for Chinese companies or AWS to develop Redis or is it great, or something in-between? I wonder how many bellyachers here contributed to Redis vs. just leeched. (Not a rhetorical question.) How many are just in the peanut gallery (just like I).
- ufocia 3y agoAbsolutely!
- 8note 3y agoDoes this mean they aren't accepting external contributions any more? If I put in a commit, what is redis going to pay me for executing my code?
