This is a bit disingenuous. They now market themselves as the creators of Reddit, or its owners, which is not true. They employed its creator for a while, but that's all.

It would've been much better for Redis's long term health to have the logo and name trademarks transferred to a non-profit steering organisation managed by the steering council so that not a single entity controls it.

This will make it more difficult for competition to enter the market. People will assume that "Redis" is somehow the same as Redis the software.

This is exactly the purpose of trademark law. I believe Redis (this company) purchased the trademark from antirez. Whatever compensation he received for it was specifically so this company could call themselves and their product Redis.

I disagree, they now market themselves as the primary maintainers of Redis, which is true.

How does it make it more difficult to enter the market?
