I'm not really sure what your point is. Salvatore Sanfilippo (aka antirez and the author of this blog post) has never been the CTO or CEO of Redis Ltd. He didn't start it and only briefly worked there (relative to how long it has been around as a company).



antirez isn't the focus of my ire, stop. They simply have the misfortune of proximity. The actual CTO told us 'always BSD'. Now Salvatore is telling us it didn't totally expire. Great!

Except... the CEO forgot. Here's a lesson about AGPL and the Big Bad Cloud. Give me a break or I'll take one.

At risk of confusing things further: YouTube is leaking, is kind of my point. Apologies again for not exhaustively phrasing my criticism. s/ging CEOs/gers/; better?

One last try: I'm happy for the evangelism, I'm less happy about the repeat license discussion. The blogs from all of the employees add a frustrating element. It's a trend now spanning businesses.

With what Mullenweg did, another conveniently forgetful CEO, I'm (admittedly, excessively) cynical.

How you thought I was saying antirez is the CEO is utterly baffling. I have a hard time thinking this is genuine, but rather, a troll. Entirely non-sequitur/failure of compound reasoning.

Ah, it all makes sense now. Another point of criticism. Or, a Supernote, if you will: s/used to//


I'm not arguing with you (as there is no real substance to your comments with which to argue), I'm merely confused about your series of non-sequiturs. Bringing up Mullenweg under a blog post made by not the CEO of a different company whose behavior up to now has been very different from Mullenweg's is just... not very relevant. Due to this I charitably assumed you might not be aware of the actual corporate dynamics and proceeded accordingly. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


Don't need or want your misplaced charity. The vote to derailment ratio over the past day tells me you're the odd one out. This has been fun, take care. Hopefully more effectively.
