Attached: 1 image Welp. It's official. #Redis is no longer #OSS While I wasn't a contributor to the core, I presented on it dozens of times, talked to thousands, and wrote a book about it. I probably wouldn't have done any of that with that kind of license. Very disappointed.

    it breaks the fundamental freedoms that make up “FOSS”

    Why? All the license says is that if you provide it as a service you must release the source code.

      It says that you must release all your source code, even the stuff that isn’t covered by the license. From Wikipedia:

      anyone who offers the functionality of SSPL-licensed software to third-parties as a service must release the entirety of their source code, including all software, APIs, and other software that would be required for a user to run an instance of the service themselves,
