A comment on Commons Clause. Parent comment

Re:Commons Clause by DannyBee on Tuesday August 21, 2018 @09:36PM (#17815526)
It's clearly not open source. It meets no definition of open source that has ever existed. Even other things like the debian free software guidelines (which date back to 1997. Seee https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debian_Free_Software_Guideline...) would not consider this free

It's also clear the goal is to "seem" open source by reusing the license names of open source licenses.

Can you point me to the line in the license file that clearly demonstrates Redis is not open source? https://github.com/antirez/redis/blob/unstable/COPYING

As noted even in the initial comment in thus subthread, Redis itself is not under this new license, and thus still Open Source.
