aistor is proprietary software[1]. Having an old version of your software be open source does not make your software open-source. Why does this need an explanation?

You aren't entitled to the product of someone else's work even if they gave away older versions of that work... What is so hard for you to understand about that?

No, I no longer am, because aistor/minio decided they no longer respect their users' freedom. It's as simple as that -- aistor is unethical and borders on malware.
