- The author rejoined Redis and advocated for switching to the AGPL license, which was already under discussion internally.
- Despite Redis initially choosing the SSPL license, the internal debate continued, with the author supporting AGPL due to its broader acceptance in the open-source community.
- The author expresses personal motivation for wanting Redis to remain open-source, especially for the Vector Sets data type they developed.
- Redis has now switched back to the AGPLv3 license, aligning with the author's hopes and the project's open-source roots.
- Redis 8, the first version under the new license, is released with new features and improvements.
