Is there a fork already?

Do we need a fork? As an example, ffmpeg is source only for mac and windows, which just means someone else is building and distributing binaries.

They changed their license to AGPL, removed features (Web UI, etc.) and now they don't provide docker images/binaries. It's their project but; what's next?

Removing existing Docker images? Seems unlikely.

Obviously they will eventually no longer license AGPL at all. It's wild to me how this can be a surprise to anyone, this entire company has been one gigantic red flag for years and that's just what's publicly known. It's a legal department with a software product as a side business.

It seems crazy that docker hub images are not immutable. Makes them really unreliable.
