Quoting comment on the License change of Redis from SSPL to AGPL
“I have a great deal of respect for antirez and rec[o]gnize him as a kind and benevolent member of the FOSS community, but no matter what Redis, Inc. announced or does, they have lost my trust for good, and I will continue to use Redis forks for as long as they exist.”
loss of trust is a one way door . Once you cross it, in most situations it’s hard to get back and needs incredible effort and sacrifice to gain back lost trust.
Integrity on the fly is important. I know that things won’t be smooth sailing always and the absurdist in us agrees that we may have to take decisions that we ideally won’t.
that is exactly why decision makers need to have skin in the game on the long run.
