Drew Devolt (Drew devault), the author of the user environment of SWAY, the HARE programming language, the ARC postal client and the Sourcehut, REDICT 7.3.0, developing Fork DBMS Redis. Redict was branched from Redis 7.2.4, the latest version distributed under the BSD license. Changes developed by the Redict project, are distributed under the license LGPLV3.0, but the code borrowed from the redis remains under the BSD license.
Redict 7.3.0 is positioned as the first separate issue of the project, the changes in which are still reduced to rebranding and minor editing, for example, the Redis-Cli utility is renamed Redict-cli, and the configuration file /etc/redis.conf in /etc /Redict.conf.

Unlike Amazon, Google, Oracle, Ericsson and Snap Valkey, the Redict project is aimed at conservative support for the code base for a long time and ensuring stability, and not promoting radical changes and innovations in the interests of commercial companies providing resources that provide resources. According to Redict developers in the current form, the Redis project has reached maturity and contains all the necessary opportunities, so it is important to ensure the process of correcting errors and vulnerabilities in the future, and not continue to build up functionality.
The selection of LGPL license instead of BSD for its own changes is explained by protection against attempts to create proprietary distributions of Redict and block the code transfer to the Proprietary Redis project. At the same time, the LGPL license does not interfere with the developers of commercial products and cloud systems to use Redict in their services and projects. Redict will develop exclusively by the community for the benefit of the community, and not a small group of companies that defend their interests. Development decisions will be made on the basis of the
