They chose an interesting time to switch licensing. MS introduced Garnet, and now the LF has Valkey as a direct descendent. Strange times ahead.
From my understanding Redis hasn't been libre software since 2018 so the new competition from Microsoft might be a driver for the licensing decision.
Just FYI Drew DeVault also started a fork recently https://codeberg.org/redict/redict/
