Just don't upgrade or don't modify the sourcecode.
- marcinzm 6y agoSee my first sentence. Can't not do something if you don't know the license changed.
- gsich 6y agoNot an issue. If you modify the source you'll notice if you try to keep upstream. If not (as in you don't modify) then it doesn't matter anyway.
- marcinzm 6y agoMany companies have outright internal bans on AGPL or contractual bans imposed by their clients.
- gsich 6y agoAnd? What's the point? That companies can be stupid? If you don't upgrade literally nothing will change. If you have upgraded and noticed the license change - downgrade. Or just use it anyway, if the value of Minio is worth it.
- yjftsjthsd-h 6y ago> If you don't upgrade literally nothing will change. If you have upgraded and noticed the license change - downgrade. And if you upgrade and don't notice the change?
- gsich 6y agoThen no one else will either and you most likely haven't modified the source (as that would make you notice the changes) so you are fine too.
- yjftsjthsd-h 6y agoI've seen companies automatically patch software (there was a CI pipeline that would clone upstream, automatically apply a patch file, and ship the result), so it's certainly possible to pull+patch without looking at specific changes, let alone watching for a relicense.
- gsich 6y agoSounds like a leftpad disaster.
- chii 6y ago> Can't not do something if you don't know the license changed. its your responsibility to know that it has changed when you upgrade.
