I was referring to the Redis Source Available License, I am sure if you pay enough you can modify the source too.


you can modify even if you don't pay as long as you application is not a "Database Product"


What application is not a "Database Product", one way or another?


If you resell Redis that’s a DB product. If you sell widgets and use Redis for search it’s not. There’s obviously some grey areas but I thought it was relatively clear?


Any web application (like E-Commerce, News, Gaming...) will probably won't be considered as "Database Product"
