On: Redis is trying to take over the all of the OSS Re...

[Aeolun]

Is that any different from someone offering to buy a browser extension to add malware?

[tanduv → Aeolun]

the library would most likely remain OSS even after the take over

[KomoD → tanduv]

What makes you think that?

[dartos → Aeolun]

Yeah, if they don’t add malware. I doubt redis will add malware to specifically their rust client.

OSS authors can add malware too.

[whs → dartos]

The risk here is they intentionally make it incompatible with Valkey, similar to how Elasticsearch client libraries complain when a newly added slogan header is missing

[wmf → whs]

That's almost guaranteed. Valkey is going to have to fork and maintain their own client libraries.

[dartos → whs]

I don’t think they could do that in a way that would prevent a fork from undoing it.
