Yeah, and you have to pay for that. Lots of open source software have enterprise support and usage limit licenses but having to pay for something isn’t open source. I am personally ambivalent at non-commercial licenses but I agree that the restriction against using proprietary software with Redis in commercial usage is kinda bad.
Redis allows a third option, a commercial license.

Of course you have to pay for a commercial license, it’s in the name. Development, tooling, support, etc, all costs money.
I like the distinction. If you want to profit from open source, make your code open source. If not, pay up.
