#Redis "commons clause" is a disaster for #opensource. it: - removes 1 of the 4 fundamental freedoms - hurts the "open source" brand by breaking FSF/OSI definitions, but keeping the name - promotes license bait-and-switch as a business model - proves the FUD right: someone hired the maintainer and changed the license - kills a great OSS project. no one will trust RedisLabs' modules again.

#SPSS is a mess. The #softwarelicenses end every year at end of August. If you want to make sure, it works between August and September, you can't buy a license beforehand, because than they'll price you the typical 40 bucks for those days till the end of August.
