Hey everyone,
It looks like Redis, Inc. has announced that future versions of Redis are no longer OSS and will be dual-licensed SSPL and RSAL[1]. Absent a fork of Redis coming up, we will likely need to remove Redis from Fedora.
All I can say is... :(

This is quite unfortunate.
We haven't encountered RSAL(v2) before in Fedora AFAIK but I've just reviewed it and concluded (easily) it should be classified it as *not-allowed*. https://gitlab.com/fedora/legal/fedora-license-data/-/issues/497
SSPL of course is already classified as *not-allowed*.

Another alternative is that someone in the community might fork it. Can we stick with the last free version for a few months to see how the pieces fall?

You can replace Redis with KeyDB: https://docs.keydb.dev/
