some kind of GPL + no CLA = good. If you contribute to GPL Redis, the Redis company cannot relicense your work, because they own it as much as you do.

GPL + CLA = bad. If you contribute to GPL Redis and transfer the copyright to your contributions to the Redis company, they can switch to whatever license they want.

SSPL + no CLA = interesting, I would love to see the Redis company open source their hosting stack because they are accepting external contributions.




It's too simplistic to call these "good" or "bad".
