One thing is the normal user concerns, that are granted, and I understand and respect them. Another thing is forking, that in the specific case of ValKey was an effort whose impulse was provided by companies having an economic damage because of the license switch. So I think those are two orthogonal questions.

Hmm, I think I see. If I understand correctly, your opinion is that independent of the motivations of the forks, independent users switching to the forks could have been avoided with better communication? I guess that's a fair stance, although I'm not sure I fully agree with it. From what I can tell, there's a fairly large contingent of open source users who won't be happy with a license being changed to something they don't consider open source regardless of the rationale.
