> Redis Labs - home of Redis [logo and motto]

I like Redis Labs, but: this wording is misleading and inaccurate.

@antirez (Salvatore Sanfilippo), the creator of Redis, joined them in 2015 [0]; however, he left recently. That's the only claim they can use to somehow be seen as the "home" of Redis, but it is still a very weird claim.

What's the home of an open source project?

My personal perception is that they shouldn't word things this way; I might be mistaken, or at least other people might see it differently. What's your take?

Again, to be clear: I have nothing against the company - I actually like and admire them and @antirez. I just don't want them to get down the rabbit hole of corporate jargon and marketing BS (see what happened with New Relic, as an example).

I think Salvatore Sanfilippo left the whole of Redis, not Redis Labs specifically.
