Hello!

Much of the content in this repo originates from the original redis-doc repo, which has the license Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International Public License), as can be seen in the original doc repo's license file: https://github.com/redis/redis-doc/?tab=License-1-ov-file#readme

Now, this repo has another license, namely Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License.

These two licenses are not compatible. It's not allowed to take contributions made under CC-BY-SA and distribute it under CC-BY-NC-SA, as explained in this thread: https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/a/267163

The point is "You may not offer or impose any additional or different terms or conditions". The non-commercial restriction is an additional condition.

If you own the copyright of all the content, you can do it, but there are many external contributions to the original docs for which Redis doesn't own the copyright.
