What's Good
AGPL-3.0. Entirely free self-host. Single binary. Built for small and geo-distributed deployments. No Cloud free-tier product — self-host is the path.
The Catch
AGPL. S3-compatible for small/geo-distributed self-host — not SeaweedFS/Ceph/MinIO-scale. SeaweedFS omitted once this publishes. Stretch: object store outside core remit, kept for the free forever self-host bar.
Verdict
AGPL S3 for small clusters. Self-host free. Not MinIO-scale.
