I'm both shocked and not surprised. Lots of questions: Are they doing that bad from the outcry? Or are they just keeping a private version and going completely commercial only? If so, how do they bypass the AGPL in doing so, I assume they had contributions under the AGPL.

"For enterprise support and actively maintained versions, please see MinIO AIStor."

Commercial only, they will replace the agpl contributions from external people. (Or at least they will say that)

It's worth noting their enterprise support is a joke. As is their whole pivot to "AI." Their pitch is that they are an AI company now. Good riddance. I look forward to a good community fork.

I don't understand. They've seen the contributions. How can they possibly do a clean-room implementation to avoid copyright infringement? (Let alone how tangled up in the history of the codebase they must be...)

I hope some contributors get together and sue. ;)

It doesnt matter unless someone takes them to court over it.
