> the software is under AGPL. Go forth and forkify. No, what was minio is now aistor, a closed-source proprietary software. Tell me how to fork it and I will. > they wanted to be the only commercial source of the software The choice of AGPL tells me nothing more than what is stated in the license. And I definitely don't intend to close the source of any of my AGPL-licensed projects.

Or were - they'll be available somewhere, especially if it got packaged for OS distribution.

    The only packages I find of aistor, are binary packages. Not only that, the aistor license agreement explicitly states the following: > You may not modify, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or create derivative works of the Software.

    aistor is proprietary software[1]. Having an old version of your software be open source does not make your software open-source. Why does this need an explanation? [1] https://www.min.io/legal/aistor-free-agreement https://www.min.io/legal/aistor-free-agreement

      You aren't entitled to the product of someone else's work even if they gave away older versions of that work... What is so hard for you to understand about that?

        No, I no longer am, because aistor/minio decided they no longer respect their users' freedom. It's as simple as that -- aistor is unethical and borders on malware.
