Find an alternative. There is no assurance that there won't be another license change in 2-3 years to force other groups of users to pay for the commercial license.
I sympathize, as they probably have several big corporations and cloud providers using Redis without doing anything to benefit anyone other than themselves. No funds, no code, no support, no documentation, no staffing, no marketing.
@musicman If I recall correctly, it is designed to prevent companies using SSPL licensed software to generate (substantial) profit, instead driving them to purchase a proprietary commercial license instead.
Think about how this would affect Amazon, Microsoft, Google, CenturyLink, and other large cloud hosting providers. This isnβt targeted at people like me, who spin up a server at home and run #MongoDB, #Redis, and similar services in a non-profit manner.
(I sympathize with companies who sponsor #FLOSS projects and find that the largest corporations in the world reap the benefit, but contribute little or nothing to the ongoing development and maintenance of the software. But going fake-open [βfauxpenβ] is a case of the cure being worse than the disease.)
