Hi, I noticed that there was a re-licensing of the project, they changed from Apache License Version 2.0 to GNU Affero General Public License 3.0 or later.

Please take a look at this:
minio/minio@0694325
https://github.com/minio/pkg/blob/9979833e9530cdf64a107aebdcb05d154624b347/wildcard/match.go

Are you planning to do the same or will you keep the project with the Apache License Version 2.0?

Nice catch @fvcr !

There is a re-licensing on the whole Minio project minio/minio@0694325

That's rough, but I can understand it. Some people don't hesitate to steel source code to make their own proprietary stuff.

But for this little lib, I think is use less.
The externalization of Minio pkg tool, is very cool, but now we can select the sale library with different license.

But, what do you think about ?

I lost the reference: https://github.com/minio/minio/tree/master/pkg/wildcard (HTTP 404),
the project is now in: https://github.com/minio/pkg/tree/main/wildcard.

Here I cannot find the re-licensing:
https://github.com/minio/pkg/tree/9979833e9530cdf64a107aebdcb05d154624b347/wildcard

But that explains everything:
minio/minio@0694325

But, what do you think about ?

I think you can keep the license as it is (Apache License Version 2.0).

I would point out that there was this licensing change to justify why your project is under Apache License Version 2.0 terms.

But I saw that you updated the README.md, so everything looks fine to me.

Thanks!
