So, he says that the AGPL only really applies to Amazon and Google. Because they are cloud providers presumably, which means it also applies to Alibaba and Oracle. And Microsoft.

Guess who contributes code? That’s right, same list.

What is the incentive for these companies to switch back to Redis when Valkey is available as BSD? They can all collaborate on Valkey and ignore Redis all together.

Are the users going to flock to AGPL instead of the BSD version? I doubt it.

I guess I'm glad to see more use of AGPL. Maybe that will make other projects less reticent to touch AGPL with a 10-foot pole. That could be a tiny silver lining out of this whole mess.
