What weasel words? They don't claim their license is FOSS. They do admit they are trying to make money. The wording of the license is a little vague, but I think the intent is pretty clear.

They call it “common” and “open source plus extra strings.” The extra license on the face mentions that consulting and support is no longer a viable business. I have no problem with the fact that redis labs decided to make some extended features commercial. They’re entitled to do that and I wish them well, they deserve to earn money from their hard work. I have major issues with the way they’re communicating that decision.
