In this episode, VM discusses Microsoft’s patents. This episode was recorded BEFORE the announcement from Microsoft joining the Open Invention Network. (This is one of the reasons I like to say the date of the recording at the top of every episode). I did not reach out to VM to get any further comment on this event.

Redis licensing changes. We had an extended discussion about Redis licensing that I cut just due to time constraints, but definitely reach out to VM if you have questions!
