Wow, I remember seeing this when you first started it and I spoke out against it then. I should have spoken more loudly, because I assumed no sane maintainer would have taken you seriously.
Software which uses this model is not open source, plain and simple. This is a disgrace on our community and I am sorely disappointed in you and in Redis.
What pushes OSS devs to cease being OSS devs is an important problem to solve, but one I think we were making great progress on. "Solving" it with the destruction of open source is a despicable thing.
The commons "clause" isn't a clause at all, it's a rape of an otherwise good license. I fear you've already let it into your head that your cause is a noble one and that you'll be unwilling to undo the damage you've done, but if you have a conscience I urge you to shut down this bastardization of open source.

That crosses into incivility and you can't do that here, regardless of how right you are or feel you are. You surely know this. Please don't do it again.
