Redis’ core is still BSD-licensee but Salvatore Sanfilippo transferred the IP rights to Redis Labs, which means there is nothing to stop Redis Labs from pulling another bait-and-switch and making Redis itself non-free.
I think all companies using Redis should make contingency plans for when that happens. I’m afraid forking Redis will likely prove necessary given Redis Labs’ record of questionable behavior.
