this is a very weird claim.

most Linux distributions take free software/open source pretty seriously, and will not ship random proprietary things (at least) as part of the main distribution.

the new redis license is clearly not open source/free software, and so new versions won't be in Debian or Fedora etc. since it's a network daemon, no one is going to want to keep an ancient unsupported version and I doubt any distribution packager will want to maintain a fork, and so redis will be removed and at best a maintained fork will replace it.
