Second, I don't know about you, but continuing to function in the same way is my primary need for systems I am managing. When my provisioning system installs a package by name, i expect it to work in the same way as before. Switching binary names breaks that promise.
My setup has scripts that do things like check that a process named "redis" is running... this will break if the process is now called "valkey"
I feel like all the commenters live in some kind of crazy alternate world where purity of license matters more than stability of systems.
But where do you put the blame?
The distro for making that change, or the redis company for breaking your software stack?
For me and my company, though, it just doesn't matter. We don't use redis in a way that would ever come into conflict with the license, so it really doesn't affect me. Redis didn't break my software stack with the license change. I am sorry, but I just can't get up the energy to care that much about which license they choose. If it helps them make money, fine go for it. I can't root that hard for the side Amazon is on.
