Was there ever a fork of MongoDB when they pulled the same stunt?

seems like the answer is a no, there was a lack of contributors with the expertise to fork the codebase.

The difference here is that the majority of Redis contributors are from the community, not from that company. The is a high likelyhood that ValKey gets more development than Redis itself.

I wouldn't call big tech corporations a "community".

Ironic decision coming from the "Redhat company"

Unfortunately, no.
No Kerberos nor even LDAP for the community edition.

You don't get to gate keep words like that.

It isn't. Look at who is proposing it and working on it. It has nothing to do with Red Hat. Also Red Hat continues to heavily contribute to open source projects and doesn't include any proprietary or source available components in the distribution.

RedHat removed libreoffice from RHEL (and tells their customers to install it from an unreliable third party instead), because the Document Foundation changed the branding to the "Community Edition" and said that they only offer Long Term Support if you pay for the Business Edition.

So obviously, RedHat doesn't consider itself a "Community" or part of an "Community". They are a corporation offering Enterprise products with Enterprise support.
A fork run by RedHat, Google and Amazon isn't a community fork. It's a corporate product.
