Redis Loadable Modules System
Since Redis is BSD licensed I wouldn't be surprised if this is the start of popular paid-for proprietary third party modules.

Even if redis was GPL licensed you still could do that. Linux is GPL and there is proprietary driver modules.

There are proprietary modules for linux, and they are distributed and used, but there isn't really a full consensus on whether they are legal. You can certainly do it and get away with it though.
