The "mega-corps" have enough money that there's zero chance this is a money issue. It will be about control.

They don't want Redis to dictate terms over the software running on their servers. No amount of money will change their mind on that - they wouldn't accept the new terms if redis offered to pay them billions of dollars.

I hope mega-corps burn billions in the process and redis stays more popular than whatever they develop. They always had the money, but they never wanted to give it to the creators and would rather leech off of them. It's despicable business and had redis gotten that kind of money before, they maybe never would've changed the license. But who knows, maybe they'd have become greedy, just like those fat suits in GAFAM+.
