> it would be great if other companies with janky licenses could see "Redis relicensed to open source and had a great boost out of it", not 'Redis relicensed to open source and it didn't help them at all". If the other companies can't figure out that adopting a janky license and alienating the community is the self-inflicted problem, then they are beyond help. Relicensing to open source not helping the company may serve as a cautionary tale for other companies and may prevent them from repeating the same mistake. As an open source enthusiast, the worst case scenario is companies switching licenses tactically and frequently to test the waters and walking back with no consequences; I'd prefer the cost of such actions to be swift and severe.
