Serious question- what do you use instead? Memcached is rock solid but has only like 5% of Redis’ feature set.
I think most people switched to Valkey which is a Redis fork:

It's the usual combination of AGPL + CLA, they're allowed to relicense to any license of their choice at any moment. They've had the CLA in place since the previous SSPL license and the more-previous BSD license naturally allows that kind of stuff.
