Today Redis announced that it will no longer be licensed under an OSI-approved license and instead is dual licensed under the RSALv2 (Redis Source Available License v2) and the SSPLv1 (Server-Side Public License v1), instead of under the BSD 3-clause license.

Neither of these are OSI approved licenses, and thus per criteria in the plugin discussion (#64), this slates Redis for removal from the core binary.

I am not happy about this change, but it is in line with what we decided in our plugin policy :-(

@pdecat It looks like https://github.com/placeholderkv/placeholderkv is also a fork. I think we can re-introduce this once the forks stabilize, under the new name.
