Summary

The RedisRaft license has been updated from dual AGPLv3 + RSAL to RSAL only as of October 20, 2021. This change applies specifically to the RedisRaft project and does not affect the core Redis software, which remains under the 3-clause BSD license. The new RSAL license allows for more flexibility in terms of usage and redistribution of source code, permitting users to freely download, modify, and redistribute without copyleft restrictions. This change aims to provide a foundation for enterprise software and services while maintaining the open-source governance of the core Redis project. The company remains committed to supporting the success of the Redis ecosystem through various efforts, including investing in clients and modules under open-source or source-available licenses.
