Licensing of the Redis Module

Hi all,

REDIS switched it's license, which isn't compatible anymore [1]

We have two options here (imho):

(1) Drop the REDIS module
(2) Migrate to the OSS fork: https://github.com/valkey-io/valkey


WDYT?

Gruß
Richard

lol :) yes you are right. 
As long it stays MIT, we can still rely on it but might be worth
looking to the clients for the fork because people might migrate sooner
or later (similar to elastic search and opensearch)

In this case: sorry for the noise and thanks Alexandre for the heads up
;-)

Hello,

Yes Redis server licensing became non-OSS friendly, but I don't
understand what would be Storm's dependency on Redis server : don't we
we just need a Redis client, such as Jedis (this later has a MIT
License) ?
