True, but there is something else we all can do to prevent cases like MinIO and all the others that cause outrage on HN every couple of weeks:
Only contribute to projects that:
1. Have a Copyleft license
2. Have no CLA and do not require copyright assignment
3. Have enough independent contributors to make relicensing practically impossible
Bonus points if the project is governed by a 501(3) (not a 501(6)).
MinIO fails point 2.
Redis failed point 1.
Happy to hear a good example for failing point 3. Basically a (A)GPL product that was only developed by employees.
- pas 1y agoRedis became OSI approved again. Also if MinIO and this UI is that amazing, then people would fork it. (Unfortunately I never had good experiences with MinIO, because it was just a bit less complicated than Ceph and the docs and admin tools much less mature and stable, and due to this I simply never got to performance evaluation.)
