redis' license was relaxed to allowing AGPLv3 as well as the various even more restrictive ones. I want to keep a BSD-licensed version here as AGPL isn't always suitable - there's no library involved, so it's relatively easy to have multiple versions in ports. current status: now imported but unlinked. In normal runtime it seems fairly happy but tests hit EADDRINUSE: [exception]: Executing test client: couldn't open socket: address already in use.
