license?

You do realize that when you fork code, the original copyright applies. That's why it's called COPYright. You can't release the same work (fork/copy/derative of the work) under another license. That's exactly what the GNU licenses are there for to prevent. All derivative works should also make their source code available under the same GNU Affero General Public License 3.0.

Hi @muhlemmer
thanks for your interest
You are absolutely right, a license cannot be changed during a fork.
However, this fork is made on a commit before the license change from the Minio project.
This is clearly indicated in the readme.
This library remains under Apache License Version 2.0, but MinIO project is migrated to GNU Affero General Public License 3.0 or later from minio/minio@0694325
In this fork, the license is intended to MinIO Cloud Storage, but after the license change it is intended to MinIO Project.
I take no credit for the work done here, I even quote Minio in About.
Feel free to contribute to this fork. I plan to do so, but unfortunately haven't had the time yet :(
My bet. Didn't read well then :)
Hi @muhlemmer ,
After a lot of work and a full rewrite, the new implementation is done.
I keep the MinIO work (and license reference) only for the benchmarking comparison.
Thanks again for your interest,
Regards,
Adrien.
