Nutanix Objects Violates MinIO’s Open Source License

Sometimes it's pretty cut and dry, just people using open source without attribution and hoping that nobody will find out. But why?

MinIO seems to be licensed under AGPL: https://github.com/minio/minio/blob/master/LICENSE

It seems that it effectively mandates that the modified version needs to be made available: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Affero_General_Public_Lice...

  The GNU Affero General Public License is a modified version of the ordinary GNU GPL version 3. It has one added requirement: if you run a modified program on a server and let other users communicate with it there, your server must also allow them to download the source code corresponding to the modified version running there.

• MongoDB

  250 25,487 10.0 C++

  The MongoDB Database

  

Seems like that applies to even patches: https://github.com/mongodb/mongo

  MongoDB is free and the source is available. Versions released prior to October 16, 2018 are published under the AGPL. All versions released after October 16, 2018, including patch fixes for prior versions, are published under the Server Side Public License (SSPL) v1. See individual files for details.
