>On the other hand, I understand they are pissed that AWS is making money from their work and they get nothing back. Well, depending on how you look at things, it was never their work. Their business is and was exactly the same as AWS. However they paid money for the rights to the Redis name and copyright from the original developer after running their business for years in similar manner as AWS. Of course they rebranded their company into Redis after acquiring the name. Also it's not like AWS didn't contribute to Redis. I find it plausible that others might have contributed more to Redis than Redis themselves, if we exclude the contributions by the original developer when he was independent. Correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I know Redis (the company) focuses mainly on building custom stuff on top of Redis, instead of Redis itself.
