AGPL is dead as a copy-left measure. LLMs do not understand, and would not care anyway, about regurgitating code that you have published to the internet.
Self hosted or just using git itself is only solution
I ran a moderately large opensource service and my chronic back pain was cured the day I stopped maintaining the project. Working for free is not fun. Having a paid offering with a free community version is not fun. Ultimately, dealing with people who don't pay for your product is not fun. I learnt this the hard way and I guess the MinIO team learnt this as well.

I struggle to even find example of VC-backed OSS that didn't go "ok closing down time". Only ones I remember (like Gitlab) started with open core model, not fully OSS
Any good alternatives for local development?
I didn't find an alternative that I liked as much as MinIO and I, unfortunately, ended up creating a my own. It includes just the most basic features and cannot be compared to the larger projects, but is simple and it is efficient. https://github.com/espebra/stupid-simple-s3

They point to AIStor as alternative. Other alternatives: https://github.com/deuxfleurs-org/garage https://github.com/rustfs/rustfs https://github.com/seaweedfs/seaweedfs https://github.com/supabase/storage https://github.com/scality/cloudserver https://github.com/ceph/ceph Among others
Apart from Minio, we tried Garage and Ceph. I think there's definitely a need for something that interfaces using S3 API but is just a simple file system underneath, for local, testing and small scale deployments. Not sure that exists? Of course a lot of stuff is being bolted onto S3 and it's not as simple as it initially claimed to be.
Yes I'm looking for exactly that and unfortunately haven't found a solution.
Tried garage, but they require running a proxy for CORS, which makes signed browser uploads a practical impossibility for the development machine. I had no idea that such a simple popular scenario is in fact too exotic.

From my experience, Garage is the best replacement to replace MinIO *in a dev environment*. It provides a pretty good CLI that makes automatic setup easier than MinIO. However in a production environment, I guess Ceph is still the best because of how prominent it is.

If your main motivation creating/maintaince a popular open source project was to make money then you don't really undersand the open source ethos.
most projects won't ever reach that level though.
Looks like they pivoted to "AI storage", whatever that means.
Even plain terminals are now "agentic orchestrators": https://www.warp.dev

no, it's actually great, that just means now all LLM code that included that needs to be AGPL-licensed
