Isn't that standard protective boilerplate so that they cant get rugpulled themselves on a contribution, 2 years later? I thought the ASF had something similar.

Requiring AGPL on the contribution would also prevent a rugpull. MinIO went beyond that.

The wording gives an Apache license only to MinIO, not to people who use it. So MinIO can relicense the the contributor code under a commercially viable license, but no one else can. Everyone else will only have access to the contribution under AGPL as part of the whole project.

Ah I didnt realize there were 2 different licenses at play, yeah that's a little sus.
