Also, the discussion under:
https://discourse.writefreesoftware.org/t/redis-switches-to-dual-source-available-licensing-model/154
makes it pretty clear that the person behind the fork has no intent to make 
any compromises on this issue.

For the redis executable, I guess this is not a blocking issue, but they 
also intend to fork the hiredis library (which currently is still BSD-
licensed upstream [https://github.com/redis/hiredis]), and there, LGPL 3.0 
only would really be a problem in the long run.
