alt Hacker NewsWait, 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?
From my understanding, you would not be allowed to sell an "S3 compatible storage" as a service based off of Minio or another AGPL licensed S3-compatible storage solution, especially if you modify the source code of minio in any way and then serve that to your customers.
If you use Minio or another AGPL licensed service internally to support your own product without a customer ever touching it's API, it should be fine.
