Fedora Evaluates Replacing Redis With Valkey
Given the upstream Redis software licensing changes, Fedora is evaluating replacing Redis with the new Valkey project.
This shift in Redis's licensing can impact Fedora's commitment to FOSS, potentially limiting users' freedom to modify and redistribute the software under the same terms. Valkey, a fork of Redis, emerges as a viable alternative because it retains a FOSS-compatible license and has robust community and developmental support. The Fedora Engineering and Steering Committee is evaluating the change but diverted it for two weeks to allow time for that Valkey compatibility packaging work to be completed.
