Yep, these are problematic statements, since what they actually mean is "as long as I'm in charge" from the POV of project managers, CEOs, ... depending on the context. And even when people don't change conditions change. Indeed it is much better to say something like: we will take the BSD license as long as possible. And actually it must be observed that Redis was one of the latest to change the license.
Yeah, exactly. And people take them at face value ("you promised it'd always be so"), without realizing that, over long enough time frames, all promises will be broken.
I guess on one hand, be careful what you promise, on the other, be careful what you believe.
