It's not a pivot. MongoDB Atlas Search still exists and MongoDB Atlas Vector Search is it's own thing.

aries185 | 2 years ago | on: Please release nano under less restrictive license so we can use it

For clarification: MongoDB is still Free as in beer, but not free as in Libre. IOW, Anyone can use MongoDB without paying money, but they cannot offer it to others as-a-service without providing the entire stack of hosting software back to the community. And of course AWS won't do that. So therefore the license is not 'free' to AWS, Azure, GCP, etc.

This is true. And now MongoDB is miles better.

Redis is still FOSS under the BSD license. If Redis Labs were to change the Redis license, AWS would fork it in a heartbeat. To help clear up confusion you can read about the Redis, Redis Modules and Redis Enterprise licenses here: https://redislabs.com/legal/licenses/

aries185 | 5 years ago | on: Amazon: Not OK – Why we had to change Elastic licensing

While it is true that Salvatore retired last year, Redis is still FOSS under the BSD license, and it has a new governance team. Redis Labs is in the drivers seat with 3 of the 5 members, including 2 Project Leads. But there are members from Alibaba and AWS https://redis.io/topics/governance

If Redis Labs were to do something stupid with the Redis OSS license, Alibaba and AWS would fork it faster than you can HyperLogLog.

Too help clear up confusion between Redis & Redis Labs, you can read about the various licenses here: https://redislabs.com/legal/licenses/

aries185 | 7 years ago | on: Redis Turns 10 – How it started with a single post on Hacker News

When used as a cache, Redis is often used as a 'look aside cache' (vs 'look thru cache'). Generally speaking, Redis does not talk directly to your database. Instead, your code looks to Redis, and then if it doesn't find what it's looking for, your code looks to your SQL database

Yes, but not Redis open source, which has been and always will be Free Open Source Software http://antirez.com/news/120. The 'Redis' that people pay for is Redis Enterprise, or any of the cloud versions of Redis such as Redis Cloud.

aries185 | 7 years ago | on: Commons Clause

For clarification, here's the official response from the Redis Labs's website: "the license for open source Redis was never changed. It is BSD and will always remain BSD." Only Redis add-on modules developed by Redis Labs have changed from AGPL to Apache v2.0 modified with Commons Clause. https://redislabs.com/blog/redis-license-bsd-will-remain-bsd
