24*365*0.0054 = 47,304$/ year / instance
. How many instances are hosted by AWS? How many are hosted by Google? How many by other Redis aaS?I live in the real world, not some make believe where we live from the gratification of free work alone. It was fine when ElasticSearch did it and it's fine when Redis is doing it. If you take an opensource project, build a business off of it, make millions, don't contribute back in a significant manner, and compete with that opensource project's own product hampering its development, then this kind of license is in no way a surprise.

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?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
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
