What's the actual impact of this for those of us who are using Redis in production (not cloud).

Same, I am interested to know.

I only install Redis on Ubuntu VMs. I don't pay for hosted Redis (since it's always been rock solid for me).

Will these changes stop me from running `sudo apt install redis`?

Most likely, yes. Debian dropped MongoDB after their license change and Ubtuntu seems to have done the same. The last version with MongoDB is focal.

I think more accurately, yes, but when is more the question instead of will it happen. I would expect current LTS to keep the open source releases for now (assuming security releases for older versions are still released as open source, if not you may find it dropped earlier!), but it won't appear in any new releases (LTS or otherwise).

That your distribution is likely to drop Redis so you will have to install it from another repository.
