No law of Congress can place in the hands of officials connected with the Postal Service any authority to invade the secrecy of letters and such sealed packages in the mail; and all regulations adopted as to mail matter of this kind must be in subordination to the great principle embodied in the fourth amendment of the Constitution.

Comment SSPL not free (Score 3, Informative) 44

SSPL:

If you make the functionality of the Program or a modified version available to third parties as a service, you must make the Service Source Code available via network download to everyone at no charge, under the terms of this License.

“Service Source Code” means the Corresponding Source for the Program or the modified version, and the Corresponding Source for all programs that you use to make the Program or modified version available as a service, including, without limitation, management software, user interfaces, application program interfaces, automation software, monitoring software, backup software, storage software and hosting software, all such that a user could run an instance of the service using the Service Source Code you make available.

This would mean you'd have to release a bunch of GPL'd software (up to and including the Linux kernel) under SSPL, but becase the two licenses are incompatible, you can't do that.

I don't imagine anyone would be able to comply with Section 13, and therefore no one can offer Redis as a service. Except, one can assume, the assholes who hold the copyright, if they don't apply this license to themselves.
