At least they offered to buy it.

  Is that any different from someone offering to buy a browser extension to add malware?

    the library would most likely remain OSS even after the take over
    • KomoD 2y ago
      What makes you think that?
  • dartos 2y ago
    Yeah, if they don’t add malware. I doubt redis will add malware to specifically their rust client. OSS authors can add malware too.

      The risk here is they intentionally make it incompatible with Valkey, similar to how Elasticsearch client libraries complain when a newly added slogan header is missing
      • wmf 2y ago
        That's almost guaranteed. Valkey is going to have to fork and maintain their own client libraries.
      • dartos 2y ago
        I don’t think they could do that in a way that would prevent a fork from undoing it.
