Ultimately it seems that everyone loses - the Redis project slowly fades, nobody can use its code on open-source projects any more, and AWS continues on unaffected by the change.

And redis doesn't want to pay contributors. Same gist, same shortsighted take on the whole matter.
Based on the open source license redis had before, what did aws do wrong? They didn't even have to contribute back, yet they did.
Investors of redis based their SaaS offering on open source and community work. Now that they achieved critical mass they want to reneg on the license.

#7It's hard to quantify, but I think Amazon would have to be in the top contenders for most value gotten from open source software

AWS was also a major Redis contributor, so asking them for more money to keep using a product they helped build and maintain was nothing but greed from Redis Inc. Valkey seems to be much more in line with Redis, and it will probably replace it as the THE in-memory cache solution.

It's more profitable for Amazon in the long term, as they can potentially eliminate competition. Amazon's use of "open-source advocacy" is questionable, and I wonder if anyone believes it.

Yes, of course. That is a major reason why people use open source. And since AWS was a contributor to Redis, why it would be absurd for them to pay license fees on a project they helped build and maintain.
