There was a 60 days notice? https://blog.min.io/

The only notice I have received is from the blowback of their behavior. Walking away from supporting the open source product at any other time than in the wake of a security vulnerability disclosure would have been received better. Sure they're not legally culpable for fixing anything but they're now obviously untrustworthy as a business partner going forwards.

Oh then like I don’t even see the problem. That said I think like a direct notification through email or something is probably better than random blog post, but I digress:

They planned to walk away earlier as I believe I saw its really just unfortunate timing.

If you’re doing business with them you should be on a business license with a contract and legal guarantees. I understand it sucks, but it’s a little bit of a self own imo if you’re only on their oss for business purposes. That also kind of breaks the social contract in the opposite direction imo.

How would they know your email if you are using minio-oss? Blog post is for sure enough. Decision itself is dumb, it's a public repo with free runners to build images that downloaded 10M times. That behavior is much different how you had to go somewhere else to get OpenJDK binaries.

Maintaining existing build pipeline is nearly zero cost.

Doesn’t matter it’s not your call.

People should begin to think about these externalities. I do.

If you’re using them for business you should probably have a more formal arrangement where they could email you.
