Probably something up to 50$. Redis lab is not that big as a company so they might not be able to hire top notch lawyers.
But regarding the history of free software that is made of individuals fighting the overreach of predatory corporations, I will be very saddened if everyone of all these projects would give up...
Maybe the fsf or software conservancy can assist some of the projects if they were to ask it?

None of these open source client library maintainers is likely going to be able to fund that. > Redis lab is not that big as a company so they might not be able to hire top notch lawyers. Redis is a company with a billion dollar valuation that has raised hundreds of millions of dollars, they can afford good lawyers. Prior art for redis_py clearly belongs to Redis, regardless of when the trademark is actually filed. This is because Redis had to have existed before redis_py.
- mst 2y agoThere are organisations like the Software Freedom Conservancy who, even if they themselves can't help, can probably help you try and find somebody who can. I'm not suggesting any particular maintainer *should* decide to fight, or even consider whether they want to try - that's very much up to them - but assuming that fighting is untenable in advance without exploring options is something I'd consider an unnecessarily unfortunate outcome.
