I don't like the naming. "Apache 2.0 with commons clause" is not the right way to describe this licensing paradigm. It is fundamentally no longer Apache 2.0. I appreciate the motivation, but think it would better serve everyone to just make a new "Redis License" that describes the terms.

I wonder if the Apache trademark allows them to call it that?

Calling your chicken "KFC with different herbs and spices!" would get you stamped down hard _very_ quickly...
