Hmm...

Today a page about the new Creative Common license in the Redis Labs web
site was interpreted as if Redis itself switched license. This is not
the case, Redis is, and will remain, BSD licensed. However in the fake
news era my attempts to provide the correct information failed, and I’m
still seeing everywhere “Redis is no longer open source”. The reality is
that Redis remains BSD, and actually Redis Labs did the right thing
supporting my effort to keep the Redis core open as usually.
What is happening instead is that certain Redis modules, developed
inside Redis Labs, are now released under the Common Clause (using
Apache license as a base license). This means that basically certain
enterprise add-ons, instead of being completely closed source as they
could be, will be available with a more permissive license.

In short:
* base engine remains under BSD license
* modules move to ASL 2.0 + commons clause which is non-free
(prohibits sales of derived products)
Beyond the sale of a derived product, it prohibits selling hosting of
or providing consulting services on anything that depend on it... so
it's pretty broad.
IMHO, projects that rely on Redis as default driver, should consider
alternatives (off course, it's up to them).
The TC stated in the past that default drivers had to be open source,
so if anything depends on commons-claused Redis modules, they would
probably have to find an alternative...
Which OpenStack components are affected ?
