What's the bait? The expectation to get free development and support forever? The pre-switch Redis code is still BSD licensed, that can't be changed.
Additionally, using SSPL licensed code doesn't concretely change anything for essentially any end user/developer besides BigCos - which are free to use and hack Redis at will as before. As a matter of fact, almost all those who complained about the license change on HN, are actually not affected.
