  > you may be violating AGPLv3 if you are using MinIO to build commercial products or using it for commercial purposes
Yeah, this is bullshit. I wish the guy used his own advise and spoke to a lawyer :)

Oh no, I used MinIO once or twice for some unlicensed software.

Should I contact a MinIO salesman to purchase an enterprise license ASAP or is it fine if I license my kids and advent of code solutions under the AGPLv3 license ?

Wait, what's the consensus on this? Are they saying that using object storage over a standard network API which they didn't even create, makes your application a derivative work of the object store?

Or just that the users would need to make minio sources, including modifications, freely available?

I guess that's kind of the big question inherent to the AGPL?
