"A debate in the open source community recently erupted when Redis created a new licensing clause called the Common Clause to address its revenue dilemma. At the crux of the debate was whether or not current open source revenue models are sustainable in the cloud era and if new licensing could solve the problem. Some argued that increasing license complexity would reduce open source adoption, while others said that open source companies and projects were being abused by the massive cloud providers and Redis’ approach was a pragmatic solution".
