MinIO was already before tricky because their interpretation of the AGPL is way to broad.

Do you have a link? I want to read more about that. Did they interpret any use as deriving from minio?

They changed their public guidance at this point, but you can still find references to their approach to AGPL quoted here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35328316

> "When MinIO is linked to a larger software stack in any form, including statically, dynamically, pipes, or containerized and invoked remotely, the AGPL v3 applies to your use. What triggers the AGPL v3 obligations is the exchanging data between the larger stack and MinIO."
