Redis is open source again

I wonder whether they did deals with AWS and Google behinds the scenes. Something like "you poured money into Valkey, how about you give that kind of money to us instead and we'll switch to AGPL and you can stop confusing two customers with two practically identical but differently priced options". Could that ever work? (I have no idea)

Google is well known for having banned AGPL (https://opensource.google/documentation/reference/thirdparty...).

Oh nice! Smart move then. Makes me wonder why they went with SSPL in the first place.
