podman pull quay.io/minio/aistor/minio:latest
podman run minio/aistor/minio --version
So I suppose those are official binaries which require license to use.
I mean, what's the difference in pricing between AGPL and a commercial license? €50k/year? €100k/year?
Do you think Docker binaries are something that could hypothetically drive conversion from AGPL users to commercial licenses?
There's definitely an air of desperation here. It's not going to work but they have to try it anyway.
I am really interested in this case, as I cannot imagine any commercial benefit from this decision.
Free users will not pay tens/hundreds of thousands for just binary files.
Obviously this will slow down the adoption of the AGPL version, against which the growth of the paid version potentially will look better in Excel reports for VCs, but something tells me that this is unlikely to be the real reason.
