I think people are not afraid of the current change on licensing, but the magic is broken as soon as a company starts wandering around. Yes the current license is not that bad, but while we have valkey on the side now, how can I trust "Redis Inc." will not decide another small change which does not affect me, then the next one, until it makes something which does affect me.

Good point: the key is that, starting from now, Redis Inc. should make small changes that positively affect you.

Is this snarky or real? If real, how would this work? If snarky, then :(
Absolutely real: focus on the community, merge things that were now in payed versions of Redis into the core, so that everybody can benefit, contribute positively to the clients space, improve the documentation, and so forth.
