It's unenforceable. European Union cannot claim VAT from smaller - yet big enough - foreign companies and is only targeting the very big ones to collect it from. I used to play an online game and, if you changed your country to a non EU one, no VAT was paid. And that was a big company that should have been enforcing EU VAT for me.

Would Redis Labs go after Joe and his brother? Even if the license said so? They're after the big abusers, not the community.

If I'm not mistaken antirez said so too, that it does not affect you and me. That's the reasonable thing anyway. AWS is the big abuser. Check MongoDB or Xen or Elastic cases. People (ex employees typically) are starting to talk how AWS is abusing their open source work. I think that's the whole juice of the story, that AWS is abusing successful open source projects.

At least that's what I read behind the words.
