Ok, so if I understand it correctly Redis is open source but Redis Labs offering is open core with the core being Redis. Err, I think I understand antirez' position but his employer seems to be acting a bit against the interest of his project by making their relationship sound different than it actually is. As I now understand it the idea is that of a newspaper publisher where there's a journalist side and a business side and the journalist side is independent. But when I see a company named Redis Labs, the only named commercial support and employer of the primary creator of Redis without any extra knowledge it's only reasonable for me to assume that they are in fact running the show. And while I sympathize with antirez it's only natural given this situation that bad publicity for Redis Labs reflects upon the project.
