Just to address the last sentence: the Apache Software Foundation would never adopt Commons Clause. It's antithetical to the ASF's entire licensing strategy, which is to give stuff away for the public good, with as few restrictions on users and redistribution as is legally practical.

Personally, people can use whatever license they want for their copyrighted works; that's cool. But the other important issue is: don't call it the "Apache-whatever license", because it is NOT the #Apache-2.0 license. Call it the "Redis License" or whatever else you want, just don't bring the ASF's name into it.
