Cynically a bunch of, idk, clout chasers maybe or opportunists?, are going to try to fork to advance them selves and take advantage of some uncertainty? What does this guy know about redis?

Agree with the other comment, this was written weirdly. Can't place my finger on why though.

Drew seems like a great guy, but he wasn't the one maintaining Redis when the relicense happened. There are non-Redis contributors who are trying to figure out what to do nest, and people keep peppering me (one of those contributors) about this fork. I like the meta-point Andrew makes that Redis is the one that's forking, but the framing it around some other arbitrary fork doesn't sit well with me.
