AGPL makes commercializing harder only for people who fear the AGPL because they want to keep stuff for themselves. there is no problem commercializing it if you don't mind sharing all your connected code. the only benefit redis has is

in a way i like the system in china. they simply force you to use their software to print invoices or receipts on government supplied numbered invoice paper, which automatically reports every sale. if there is no sale you don't need to

you have no idea. as a software developer the job market is already very bad, so your wish is already reality. but i don't see any undignified jobs as alternative here either. what should that be? taxi/bus driver? food delivery? s
