A comment on Minio Changes License to AGPL. Parent comment

I'm not seeing an obvious license issue here. Apache 2.0 is GPLv3 compatible (but not V2 compatible.) Both Apache and the FSF agree on that, and the AGPLv3 is compatible with GPLv3. So I don't see why they'd need explicit approval to use the AGPLv3 going forward.

I read your edits and still don't see a problem. You can still "pluck" out Apache code from minio and use that under that license. The license for Apache code hasn't changed.

What you can't do is use the minio without adhering to the terms of the AGPL (and Apache 2.0).

Spot on, this is precisely what I've written.
