Future support of Redis or other BSD license alternatives?

[thanh17]

With the recent changes in Redis licensing from BSD-3 to dual RSALv2+SSPLv1, what will the future of ioredis support look like?

Will this come in the form of transitioning to other forked version of redis like Valkey?

Where are we at - do we have a fork that is maintained and what we have moved on with?

It seems this is not maintained. There is 200+ issues not resolved, and the last release was 1 year ago.

Just to avoid confusion: The ioredis library is MIT licensed and its OSS license is not impacted by the recent Redis server license change.

@thanh17 @billnbell2 This question was extensively covered here #1870 (comment)
Since then, we released 5.4 maintenance release and executed the strategy outlined before. All official Redis clients are MIT-licensed.
