The imbalance I think _msw_ refers to is the fact that Valkey couldn't both take code from a GPL-licenced Redis and keep its license.

So either they relicense, or they can't take code from Redis but Redis can take code from Valkey.

I see, I misunderstood that. I have read it as an attempt to prevent redis taking the code from valkey.

However, if the intention was the other way (to allow valkey to take code from redis), valkey should just go for AGPL as well, there is little reason to pick GPL if the code sharing would be the motivation for the license change.
