Strange. You spent THREE YEARS in discussion with Nutanix and still say

> we believe they may also be in violation of the GNU AGPL v3 versions of MinIO.

`may also be`? you are not even 100% sure whether they are using your AGPL v3 version? I have no clue, what the heck you were discussing for 3 years.

Moving from Apache-2.0 to AGPLv3 is a clear trap for those who use Minio as part of their commercial offering. With AGPLV3 one need to "disclose your source code" where as its not required with Apache-2.

If you started your "Open source" project with AGPL it is a different thing but to start the project under Apache-2 and few years later introducing AGPLv3 is kind of lame and unethical, IMHO. https://github.com/minio/minio/discussions/12156
