I got a really stupid email from Redis®* a year ago that wanted me to put a disclaimer on the “first page” where Redis®* appeared on a website, as if it was a paper legal document.
That was the very moment Redis®* died for me—I’ve never encountered a tech company that was so aloof about how tech works.
Hopefully that damage is undone.

You are right, and this attitude was reverted. You can't imagine what law departments can do even without explicit mandate, if not correctly moderated. Redis grew very fast in the middle of a CEO switch and I believe this created many issues like this one. Now, we should be past that. To provide an example in a very important field, client libraries, the decision was to help with the code sending PRs and don't interfer with things like trademarks.
