In this case, it's "Valkey, from the developers of Redis", and everybody wants the new thing. Because the people working on Valkey are in fact the people who worked on Redis before it went proprietary.
I'm not suggesting it was kelsey98765431's point (though the thought crossed my mind that they might have been going for that). I was observing the irony that

is in fact exactly what happened in this case, because NewThing is Valkey, it is from the developers of Redis, and that has indeed carried so much more weight.
I don't think that was kelsey98765431's point. Of course people want the free thing. If Redis Labs released a new commercial thing, people do not want it regardless of the name.
