the correct way to phrase it would be: you cannot use it unless you pay for a licence.

its source is only available so you can look at the implementation if you wish to explore the internals.

That's not true

> Licensor hereby grants to You a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, non-transferable license during the term of this Agreement to: ... (b) use the Software, or your Modifications, only as part of Your Application, but not in connection with any Database Product that is distributed or otherwise made available by any third party.

The license is basically to stop AWS using it as part of elasticache (or any other cloud providers)

Not fully correct, you can change the code and even redistribute it as part of your application, as long as your application is not a "Database Product" as defined in the license

I was referring to the Redis Source Available License, I am sure if you pay enough you can modify the source too.

[gkorland]

you can modify even if you don't pay as long as you application is not a "Database Product"

[sam_lowry_]

What application is not a "Database Product", one way or another?

[jashmatthews]

If you resell Redis that’s a DB product. If you sell widgets and use Redis for search it’s not. There’s obviously some grey areas but I thought it was relatively clear?

[gkorland]

Any web application (like E-Commerce, News, Gaming...) will probably won't be considered as "Database Product"
