Redis has reverted to the AGPLv3 open-source license following a controversial 2024 switch to the SSPL license, which alienated its open-source community. The move is meant to mend relations and was influenced by the return of founder Salvatore Sanfillipo as developer evangelist. Redis version 8 not only adopts the AGPLv3 license—recognized as open source by OSI—but also introduces technical enhancements including new data types and performance improvements, making it a more robust choice for developers.
Redis is now available under the AGPLv3 open source license after a controversial switch to the SSPL license, aiming to renew community relations.
The return of founder Salvatore Sanfillipo as a developer evangelist is pivotal in guiding Redis back to open source and community engagement.
