This is written in their blog post:
> Under the new license, cloud service providers hosting Redis offerings will no longer be permitted to use the source code of Redis free of charge.
So, this is just a money grab scheme because Redis finds it an absurd that cloud providers are offering Redis hosting, in their minds Redis Company should be the only one offering Redis hosting.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I believe this is a shotgun shot to their foot and this will result in Redis dying or even drastically reducing its market-share.
