To expand above comment,
Redislabs legally acquired copyright from Salvatore Sanfilippo, But they didn't acquired copyright from other contributors. Since there were no CLA enforced, the contributors still retain their copyright. So redislabs is legally bind to follow the copyright of contributors while re-licensing the codebase. One alternative is to remove all contributions from the repo, which might not be practical.
PS: Not a lawyer.
PPS: This is specifically about removing the old copyright headers, not the re-licensing as a whole. Since Redislabs hold the
redis
trademark and the original license is permissive, They can easily consider this as the derivative and keep the original nameredis
