Redis adopts dual source available licensing

Redis has decided to adopt a dual source available licensing model due to challenges in commercial sales through large cloud service providers, leading to the creation of a non-commercial fork called Redict. This move has sparked discussions about the future of community-built software and the impact of licensing changes on the open-source community. Microsoft also introduced Garnet, a Redis client compatible cash store, around the same time, raising questions about the timing and community needs.
