Is it really bait and switch if almost zero users are affected by the change? (except philosophically)
The license change only affects the code written in the future and now people can change their mind about contributing.
That seems fair to me.
Maybe you think that morally the license should never change but there is no clause in the license to prevent changing the license, so that would not be a reasonable expectation.
Reading the other comments the switch does make more sense, if you want to freeload off of the work redis has done for the project then you’ll have to join whatever community remains on the forked version, and anyone who cares about this kind of stuff should probably understand what’s permissible in the previous license, which clearly includes it being switched out like this
note: I am not disagreeing with the license change, just asking why you think nobody is affected.
I doubt there were many (if any) non-AWS businesses that were affected. To earn a profit you need to continue to work, I don’t feel bad when a corporation is negatively affected after their leeching or rent seeking is disturbed. Even if it was previously acceptable behavior.
Momento is likely impacted.
Affects them how?
The number of businesses providing managed redis is very small, isn't it?
