> Elastic, Redis, Terraform, now MinIO.

Redis is the odd one out here[1]: Garantia Data, later known as Redis Labs, now known as Redis, did not create Redis, nor did it maintain Redis for most of its rise to popularity (2009–2015) nor did it employ Redis’s creator and then-maintainer 'antirez at that time. (He objected; they hired him; some years later he left; then he returned. He is apparently OK with how things ended up.) What the company did do is develop OSS Redis addons, then pull the rug on them while saying that Redis proper would “always remain BSD”[2], then prove that that was a lie too[3]. As well as do various other shady (if legal) stuff with the trademarks[4] and credits[5] too.
