Dragonflydb – A modern replacement for Redis and Memcached

If that's your only concern, then why not dual license? Give your users the choice whether they want to follow the current license or the AGPL.

We may do it in the future. We will see if the community will accept Dragonfly with BSL. MariaDb were pretty famous and i do not remember any loud objections to their license.

I was quite excited to see Dragonfly. However now that the license has been pointed out, I won't be touching it with a 10 foot pole. I wish you the best of luck, but I'll never use it.

If it was AGPL I'd have been a happy camper though.

There were a lot of loud objections to their license, and remember that MariaDB the database isn't licensed that way (it's GPL), just the much less used MaxScale and CMAPI.
