MinIO is now in maintenance-mode

Is this not the best thing that could happen? Like now its in maintenance, it can be forked without any potential license change in the future, or any new features that are in that license change... This allows anyone to continue working on this, right? Or did i miss something?

Hopefully no one is shocked or surprised.

I'm both shocked and not surprised. Lots of questions: Are they doing that bad from the outcry? Or are they just keeping a private version and going completely commercial only? If so, how do they bypass the AGPL in doing so, I assume they had contributions under the AGPL.

I thought they were pivoting towards close it and trying to monetize this?

That got backlash so now it’s just getting dropped entirely?

People get to do whatever they want but bit jarring to go from this is worth something people will pay for to maintenance mode in quick succession
