In this allegory, did AWS take all the apples in the crate while paying them $1 for every apple, thus becoming the bad guy?

  No. It took the entire crate and paid nothing.

    I think there's a massive difference between "paying what was required by the offer" and "paying less than was required by the offer" and only one of them makes you a thief.

      I think there's a massive difference between the letter of the law and the spirit of the law, and saying "but the letter of the law didn't say I couldn't!" doesn't make you any less of a thief.

        > "but the letter of the law didn't say I couldn't!" doesn't make you any less of a thief. Yes it does. And it's moot because the apples were offered for free, no restriction on usage.

    Most of the companies behind Valkey were writing significant code for Redis. It was certainly not a case of them paying nothing. Valkey has some of the (formerly) most prolific Redis contributors for the era in which it was forked.
