When JavaScript developer starts writing a Linux script.

I just ment that there will be nothing special being done there. Server would just send the result in plan HTML, that would be used and styled as a widget in something else later.

Sure, but someone has to maintain them.

Great. Now we have to choose between source available DB from ok company or open source DB from bad company…

They could just use AGPL. Amazon would need to contribute back, but with no restrictions on who and how can run it. Current licence has a clause that prevents any providing of the software on the network.

This is not as bad as they didn’t make the whole thing totally proprietary. But FOSS community definetly would have to seek for alternarives unfortunetly.

You may not make the functionality of the Software or a Modified version available to third parties as a service or distribute the Software or a Modified version in a manner that makes the functionality of the Software available to third parties.

It is no longer open source under the definition of Open Source Iniciative, FSF, Wikipedia, RedHat, Cambridge Dictionary, European Union, maybe even Redis themself… Only startups that want gratis marketing seems to disagree.

We had pretty much defined open source for the last 20+ years and one of the requirements is freedom of redistribution at least equal to the developer itself.
For what Redis is doing we already have term source available which makes perfect sense and both are well defined.

If you think open means just “you can see the code”, you must prove yourself at this point.

Sure, but can I:

• use the software as I like to?
• see how it works and adapt it to better fit my needs?
• lend it to my friend to help him?
• pay someone else to improve this software?

I’m talking about Huawei devices in Europe and US. What’s inside China is another thing.

Have you heard of GNUNet project?

Example how even with much criticism Google is going to do their ideas anyway.
