And anyone who says that's wrong to do is very disingenuous. That is a very legitimate business model, and IMO the only way to compete with AWS as an open source product.
From a licensing perspective, yes. However I looked into installing custom modules in Elasticache Redis once and you cannot do it (Same with RedisLabs' hosted solution although you can at least install their modules).
If you installed Redis on an EC2 instance manually you could run the modules.

Redis Labs developed all the modules (RedisSearch, RedisGraph, etc). Those are all licensed in such a way that Amazon cannot rehost them.

You mean in such a way that Amazon cannot "productize" them, right? Surely you can host them on AWS if you're setting it up yourself.
