Companies are using AGPL not to benefit users or the community but to extort users and competitors into paying them. It's becoming fake open source.

They're not extorting anyone. Or is anyone having paid product "extorting" their customer?
AGPL is true open source.
Links please, also it's literally FSF and OSI approved, how come you call it fake open source?

Lets just say they have a weird take on what constitutes agpl-compliant
> the AGPL license requires that all software connecting with MinIO be 100% open source for you/your users
Indeed, I don't think that's correct. That depends on the definition of "connecting" but I was under the impression that if you use MinIO on a server, the services that connects to MinIO don't need to be open-source. Only the server component that include MinIO need to be, and only if end users are connecting to that component. But correct me if I'm wrong.

Seems like people misunderstanding the AGPL. (btw, I don't think this makes it fake open-source!)
