Redis Returns to AGPLv3 Open Source License

2025-05-01

Redis core developer antirez recounts the journey of Redis switching back to the AGPLv3 open-source license.

Redis 8, now officially released, uses the AGPLv3 license, much to antirez's satisfaction. He promises continued improvements to Redis, particularly the new Vector Sets data type.
