Redis License Changed

• Redis

  318 64,821 9.7 C

  Redis is an in-memory database that persists on disk. The data model is key-value, but many different kind of values are supported: Strings, Lists, Sets, Sorted Sets, Hashes, Streams, HyperLogLogs, Bitmaps.

  

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?

  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.

• WorkOS

  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.

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.

• dotnet

  3 392 9.9

  Home of .NET's Virtual Monolithic Repository which includes all the code needed to build the .NET SDK from source (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.
