   I only recently became familiar with MinIO due to playing around with Kubernetes again, but man is it unfortunate what is happening to their community edition. #MinIO #opensource

     @tyil @Gina Unfortunately that is written in a proprietary language (Rust), so it's proprietary software.
     
     The project does not validly license either - there are no license headers and "Garage is entirely free software released under the terms of the AGPLv3." in the readme is not legally valid, as it does not specify if the license is AGPLv3-only or if it's AGPLv3-or-later, the copyright holders and the copyright years.

     @Gina@fosstodon.org This is why people prefer using actual free software, such as Garage, licensed under the AGPL-3.0, and hosted using free software too.
     
     Open Source is a scam, as has been proven countless times now.
