I just want to know if MinIO contact Weka before this fall out or not. If not, then MinIO comes off as a bunch of psychos. If so, then grab your popcorn.

According to the article, they did not: > At the end of the business day on Friday, March 24th – without warning, provocation, or even providing WEKA with an opportunity to review and respond to their claims – MinIO issued a public statement that made several false and baseless accusations against WEKA. It was the first time MinIO had made us aware of their concerns.

It seems they might be psychos, they are misrepresenting what AGPL allows all over their issue tracker, for example this: https://github.com/minio/minio/issues/12829#issuecomment-889588802 https://github.com/minio/minio/issues/12829#issuecomment-889... > Also NOTE: I need to remind you are under AGPLv3 violation here if you are using MinIO with proprietary purposes. Please consult a software lawyer for more information. Or this: https://github.com/minio/minio/issues/13308#issuecomment-929254690 https://github.com/minio/minio/issues/13308#issuecomment-929... > Also, just want to mention that the AGPL license requires that all software connecting with MinIO be 100% open source for you/your users not to be in violation of the license. All that AGPL actually requires is that you share the source of your server, if you modify it.

So they would consider my Arq backups to MinIO a license violation? What if I access the GUI from a Windows PC? What about a Linux PC with a proprietary GPU driver?

    Under the MinIO interpretation if you browse the web interface with Microsoft Edge you need to open source your browser.
