OpenMaxIO: Forked UI for MinIO Object Storage

What's up with the naming of rage forked projects?

OpenMaxIO, Forgejo, Valkey, OpenTofu..

Some worse than the others, but still..

Btw, MinIO making these not "open open-source" moves should not be a surprise. Since the beginning, YEARS ago their own CEO, lead people talked in a way it was clear they wanted to follow the Hashicorp book, a few years later they've taken quite a few hundreds of millions in investment.

So let's not be childish, adopt it for what it is and when it happens adapt it for what it is.

Wait'll you hear about:

- https://github.com/WedgeServer/wedge

- https://github.com/tmpim/casket

Both forks of Caddy...

I don't get your point about naming. What would you have them named? OpenMaxIO seems different than any of the other ones you listed. They wouldn't have been able to name it OpenMinIO without some legal problems.

OpenTofu is a "best of a bad situation" kind of thing. The project was originally called OpenTF, which makes sense since Terraform config code almost always ends in `.tf`, but HashiCorp sent out the lawyers, so they had to change names. Plus, it goes well with OpenBao, their Vault fork.
