So one of the stories getting talked about in the FOSS world recently has been how redis changed its license, leading to some new competing forks: https://vickiboykis.com/2024/04/16/redis-is-forked/ This presents a number of questions for what will happen in MacPorts? - Will MacPorts continue to maintain a redis port? - Will MacPorts add ports for valkey and/or redict? - If so, will the 3 conflict, or will they all be installable separately? - For ports that currently depend on redis, will they continue to require redis specifically, or will it be possible to use valkey and/or redict to satisfy their dependencies instead? - Do any new licenses need to be added to MacPorts' list of recognized licenses in response to this change? And does port_binary_distributable.tcl work properly with the new license(s)? Anyways, this isn't too big of an issue for me personally, as I don't actually use redis myself, but I figured some other MacPorts users might appreciate some clarity on the topic... Eric
