What licensing considerations should you be aware of when using Redis modules in a commercial product?

Intermediate

Answer

Redis modules have historically used various licenses, with some official modules using licenses that place certain restrictions on offering the module as part of a competing commercial database service, so it is important to review the specific license of any module you plan to use, especially if you are building a product that itself will be offered as a hosted or managed service to others.
-- Always review the specific license
-- of each module before commercial use
-- Licenses can differ significantly between modules
Real-world example A company building their own managed database offering carefully reviews the licensing terms of each Redis module they consider using, ensuring their planned commercial use case is actually permitted under those specific license terms.
