I just read the AGPL and the FAQs and it's not entirely clear to me either.

Probably why many companies find AGPL toxic.

No. Users of Redis are the ones connecting to it. Furthermore, the Redis client library that you link into your program is MIT licensed. Unless you embed Redis directly into your app, you'd never have to release your own code to use it.

I think this is correct, at least I hope so.

I wish it were common for projects to explain in common language how they expect the license to work, with examples of how it applies to their project.

This is my number one objection to the AGPL. Still way better than the SSPL or BUSL, but I will stick with valley for now.
