Licence Valkey

valkey (PyPI): licence field now holds full MIT text

The licence field of the valkey Python package on PyPI changed from the short label "MIT" to the full MIT License text, with copyright lines for Redis, inc. (2022-2023) and the valkey-py contributors (2024-present). The classifier stays "License :: OSI Approved :: MIT License", so the licence itself is still MIT. This is a metadata formatting change, not a change to the terms.

What this means for you

This affects everyone who uses Valkey, however you use it.

Ways out

  • Stay on valkey-py; no action neededLow effort

    The package is still MIT-licensed. Only the way the licence is written in the metadata changed.

  • RedisMedium effort

    The original project the client was forked from, if you prefer it for other reasons.

  • UpstashMedium effort

    A hosted Redis-compatible service, if you want a managed option.
