I wouldn't (for now) and I don't think the Arch Linux maintainers

not going well for them since the bulk of the people have left for
Valkey and they are desperate to regain control.
If the Valkey fork is re-integrated with Redis (as happened with
OpenWrt and LEDE) then I would (obviously) officially distribute Redis
again. If not, I don't think it's worth it since Redis will slowly die
in favor of Valkey.
But beware, these are just my personal opinions that do not have to
coincide with those of the maintainers.
Thank you Óscar,
I tend to agree with your assessment, and it likewise is just my
personal take on the matter. I just wanted to make sure I didn't need to
prepare for another switch. Valkey has by far the more permissive
license and it is clear that redis choose the most restrictive license
it could in AGPL while still being able to say it was an open-source
license.
Valkey is working fine, no need or desire to switch back.
