But why are they spending any time switching away from Redis at all unless they are a hosting provider offering Redis-as-a-service?
I wasn't aware the license had any negative affect on private internal use.
- twoodfin 1y agoThe negative effect is that you have to bring the lawyers back in, and they tend to take an extremely conservative position on what might be litigated as offering “Redis-as-a-service”.
- cortesoft 1y agoWould they? My experience is the lawyers sign off when software is being chosen, but then they aren't consulted again. After that, it is just updating version numbers. Lawyers don't sign off on version upgrades, why would I bring this to them?
- ukuina 1y agoMany legal departments cannot afford nuance when a newsworthy license change occurs. The kneejerk reaction is to switch away to mitigate any business risk.
- freeAgent 1y agoI doubt having lawyers review your usage is more expensive than spending hundreds of hours of dev time to migrate.
- stackskipton 1y agoOur lawyers looked at SSPL since we do host software for customers and it does use Redis and went "Eh, this is as clear as mud." so Valkey it is!
