    243650.0054 = 47,304$/ year / instance. How many instances are hosted by AWS? How many are hosted by Google? How many by other Redis aaS?

    Formatting it like 47,304$/ year seems like you’re saying it’s $47k, but it’s just $47. How much would it cost any company to self-maintain their Redis instance?

    Don’t contribute back in a significant manner

    They have multiple people full time employed that are contributing, and how are they “hampering its development”?

    If you look at the top contributors: https://github.com/redis/redis/graphs/contributors

    • #4 Binbin works for Tencent Cloud
    • #6 Zhao Zhao works for Alibaba
    • #7 Madelyn Olson works for AWS
    • #9 Wen Hui works for Huawei

    Soo actually these cloud providers are some of biggest contributes to the project. They’re not just taking Redis and aren’t contributing. The opposite actually lol.

    Besides, you’re acting like Redis is some poor little startup, but they’re a company with 991 people (by their linkedin stats). Its like if Oracle would change the MySQL license, and then you side with Oracle “Poor little Oracle, everyone uses MySQL, but no one contributes” - yea no
