Everyone can fork any FLOSS project. That's by design. There are also no restrictions on random people selling services directly or indirectly using said FLOSS projects.

If a corporation changes their mind and decide it was a mistake for them to release software as FLOSS, they have the right to do what Redis just did. What they can't do is feign ignorance or do a bait-and-switch to try to coerce their userbase to cough up licensing fees for FLOSS projects.

But everyone is not in a position where they can put a ton of resources into a project in order to crush the competition and maintain their monopoly.

Which is why I said that the problem is the fact that Amazon is in this position, not the licence.
