I do not understand why would a developer (or development team) change the licensing terms of their software for something stricter, like Redis did. Could someone tell me what the factors are?

If you don't pay for WinRAR, the only thing it will do is show up notices to buy it. This is intentional, meant to prevent piracy. So it's more like a donation rather than a purchase.

It's good to learn about some cultural differences, for both me and you. In Poland, Santa is believed to bring the naughty kids bundles of rods (as in, leafless twigs). We call that "rózga", even though the same word can just refer to a single rod as well.

This just goes to show you that Google will do anything for money.

The API pricing was imposed to crack down on free training of LLMs with user data.

There were also other API changes like totally removing access to content marked as mature. I don't know if subreddits can disable setting a post as mature because automods can't detect it or see its content.
