Redis License Changed

1. Redis

   1 390 69,634 9.8 C

   For developers, who are building real-time data-driven applications, Redis is the preferred, fastest, and most feature-rich cache, data structure server, and document and vector query engine.

   

   I'm curious about something: I suppose Salvatore still owns the copyright for most of the code? The old license does include his copyright, up to 2020: https://github.com/redis/redis/blob/7.2/COPYING So I think this change couldn't have been done without his explicit consent? Or did he transferred his rights to RedisLabs or a foundation?

2. InfluxDB

3. dragonfly

   2 55 28,181 9.9 C++

   A modern replacement for Redis and Memcached

   

   Check out DragonflyDB (BSL): https://www.dragonflydb.io/

   BSL is not OSI-approved, but it’s a much more reasonable AWS-resistant license. It’s the same license CockroachDB uses, for example.

   KeyDB (BSL, acquired by Snapchat) is also an option: https://keydb.dev/

   BSL is a much better license, but it’s a gamble on how long KeyDB will be supported. I don’t want to mess around with such a core part of my architecture.

4. KeyDB

   3 26 11,997 7.6 C++

   A Multithreaded Fork of Redis

   

   Check out DragonflyDB (BSL): https://www.dragonflydb.io/

5. garnet

   4 10 11,163 9.7 C#

   Garnet is a remote cache-store from Microsoft Research that offers strong performance (throughput and latency), scalability, storage, recovery, cluster sharding, key migration, and replication features. Garnet can work with existing Redis clients.

   

   At the same time Microsoft releases Garnet: https://github.com/microsoft/garnet

   Good timing.

6. softwarecommons.com

   Apparently marketing people who want to sell stuff under those new licenses think "source available" is uncool.

   Some folks are working on terminology over here, if you're curious.

7. dotnet

   6 7 633 10.0 C#

   Home of .NET's Virtual Monolithic Repository which includes all the code needed to build the .NET SDK. (by dotnet)

   

   https://github.com/dotnet/dotnet exists for source build that stitches together SDK, Roslyn, runtime and other dependencies. A lot of them can be built and used individually, which is what contributors usually do. For example, you can clone and build https://github.com/dotnet/runtime and use the produced artifacts to execute .NET assemblies or build .NET binaries.

8. .NET Runtime

   7 705 16,506 10.0 C#

   .NET is a cross-platform runtime for cloud, mobile, desktop, and IoT apps.
