Dimitry (who is CTO at Nexenta) published a story on Reddit titled "EdgeFS - Geo-Transparent and Scale-Out Data Storage Layer just got open sourced!":https://www.reddit.com/r/opensource/comments/clzbnx/edgefs_geotransparent_and_scaleout_data_storage/ https://www.reddit.com/r/opensource/comments/clzbnx/edgefs_g... But then again, maybe the CTO is the rogue employee...

Can't get much clear cut than a C executive stating it has been open sourced.

  Well, being devil's advocate: DDN maybe thinks Nexenta did not have the right to open source Edgefs after it aquired Nexenta. It seems to be BS though. Citing from the DMCA: "[...] EdgeFS was improperly contributed as open source without the authorization of DataDirect Networks, Inc. or its wholly-owned subsidiary, Nexenta by DDN, Inc., the copyright owners".

The official edgefs site also links the github, and both the blogposts published on the official edgefs blog post after Aug 4 2019 mention it. Curiously an archive of the site dating to july 25 mentions it. Both blog posts were tagged as written by Dimitry.
