I for one don't like it when companies do a bait-and-switch. It's fine to develop proprietary software, the problem is when you grow a user/customer base based on the fact that your software is open source and then turn it proprietary.
- ufocia 3y agoTrust no one. Be self sufficient. I, for one, will take the risk, reap the benefits and move on when factors are no longer conducive to my goals.
- sangnoir 3y agoSo I take it you endorse the Amazon-backed fork? Amazon too strives to be self-sufficient, and has moved on from Redis because the factors are no longer conducive to its goals.
