Re. 1, that's a fair point. For what it's worth, the blog post does explicitly promise, in writing, that Redis itself will remain BSD-licensed forever. Take that for what you will, since I certainly don't have any more info on their intentions than you do (and probably would be prohibited from talking about it if I did), and you have no reason to trust me any more than the blog. I believe a written commitment under a company's official domain should at least have some legal weight, though IANAL.

Re. 2, I /personally/ believe the BSD-licensed Redis itself will continue to be developed and improved as before, but I hope you appreciate why I'm being very cautious about what I say. I'm not really positioned or authorized to make any statements on behalf of Redis Labs.

It doesn’t. It’s a promise made by someone who just reneged on another implicit promise.
