I agree it would be good to clarify this. I have a product that does some background job processing using Sidekiq and Redis, and it seems that this would not constitute "making the software available", in particular where it says:

Making the functionality of the Software or Modified version available to third parties includes (...) offering a product or service, the value of which entirely or primarily derives from the value of the Software or Modified version (...).

Since the value is not _primarily_ derived from using Redis, I guess it's fine. I am sure the majority of projects using Redis in some way do not derive their main value from Redis.
