[LEGAL] Please remove my copyright notice from the source code about valkey HOT 7 CLOSED

nice to see you (big fan), although i have been participating in the Redis OSS community in the past few years, i have never been able to communicate with you (what a pity).

we will handle this issue properly.

Thank you @enjoy-binbin I'm a big fan of the Chinese Redis hacking / community :D so this is mutual. Have a great day!

Thanks for coming here Salvatore. Removing your copyright information is sad issue, But we still need to take it. (Redis big fan as well)

Hi Salvatore! Nice to see you around.

Note that, thanks to the BSD license of the code you used before the fork, other than deleting my copyright notice you don't need to do any other change (but please ask your lawyer as I'm not one).

The other change (mostly completed now) is to get rid of the Redis trademark everywhere. :)

Hi Viktor!

The other change (mostly completed now) is to get rid of the Redis trademark everywhere. :)

Indeed, this step was somewhat more obvious, the copyright things are a bit more complex sometimes when liberal licenses apply, since the licensing terms even when very liberal still don't override the copyright matters. Also while hacking I was focused on other stuff, and the exact dates of the contracts where regulated in peculiar ways so I totally forgot to update the copyright notice when needed. Thanks.

Thanks for stopping by Salvatore 👋.

It is likely possible to fork the Redis source code and retain the copyright if you pick a commit that is before my agreement with Redis Ltd, but this dates to many years ago, so given that you fork was performed with the latest sources, both you and I are not complying with the terms.

Yeah, let's make sure the copyright ownership is as clear as possible.
