The absence of a LICENSE for the Redis images prevents the use of the operator in scenarios involving distribution

@shubham-cmyk @iamabhishek-dubey This issue is a duplicate of OT-CONTAINER-KIT/redis#89 but has been created to increase visibility.

While the Redis operator is released under the Apache License 2.0, the Redis images it consumes do not have an attached license.

According to GitHub's licensing guidelines: https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/managing-your-repositorys-settings-and-features/customizing-your-repository/licensing-a-repository#choosing-the-right-license

You're under no obligation to choose a license. However, without a license, the default copyright laws apply, meaning that you retain all rights to your source code and no one may reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from your work. If you're creating an open source project, we strongly encourage you to include an open source license. The Open Source Guide provides additional guidance on choosing the correct license for your project.

As it stands, this lack of a license appears to prevent anyone from using the Redis operator with these images for redistribution purposes (and not only). Instead, users might need to build their own compatible Redis images. Was this an intentional decision for the repository, or could it have been an oversight?
