Redis Labs’ Modules License Changes
Redis has changed its license for certain Redis Modules to the Redis Source Available License (RSAL), addressing concerns about cloud providers using successful open source projects without contributing back. RSAL maintains equivalent rights to permissive open source licenses, with a few restrictions on specific types of applications. This change does not affect the Redis core license, which remains under 3-Clause BSD. The company continues to focus on providing instant experiences for modern applications through its open approach and commitment to maintaining an independent Redis core team.
