I just don't like using a permissive open source license as a booster for your software and then changing it when others make money. Either start as a closed source/source available project or find another way to make money. This whole "but we wanted to do a cloud offering, it's not fair that AWS/Azure/GCE make one with our software and everyone is using theirs" is just so stupid to me. You wanted people to adopt your software. You used permissive licenses to convince people. People adopted your software probably because of the free nature of the software. Now you want to change that. Well that is just stupid. I think that is especially true for Redis. Redis is a good software. Many integrated it but it is not irreplaceble. The idea of a KV store is not that novel.
