The race to replace Redis

AWS are the largest leeches of OSS, syphoning off most the profits and contribute relatively nothing back towards the OSS projects they rent seek from.

The "Free for all except mega cloud corps" license changes are to disrupt this status quo which currently sees the mega cloud corps with impenetrable moats from capturing most of the value of OSS products others spend their resources into building, AWS are then able to use their war chest profits to out resource, and out compete them, using their own code-bases against them.

It's unfortunate organizations need to resort to relicensing stop this predatory behavior, but its clear in AWSs 20+ year history they're not going to change their behavior on their own.

Except Redis was never meant to be “owned” by this company. They are both predatory.

It is not owned by the company. You are free to create your own fork of the code with all the attendant benefits, including monetization, if applicable.

Only one company is allowed to offer it as a service.

I think you are right about AWS leeching OSS.
