Let the forking ensue. What a stupid move. They have illegally removed the BSD headers from contributions by various cloud vendors like Redhat and Amazon. I hope they can all get together to.maintain a fork, and maybe sue Redis Inc. for this unlawful infringment of there copyrights.

I don't see anything in the 3-clause BSD license indicating the copyright notice needs to be included in every file, though.

They've kept a copy of it in the repository, and it looks like they left the BSD header in files where the copyright holder's name was an external contributor.

They also mention that the license change only applies to future changes, not existing code - so it doesn't seem like there's any copyright infringement happening here, unless I'm missing something.
