## Copyright {#copyright}

**Copyright © 2020–Present MinIO, Inc.**
Original MinIO Object Storage Documentation.

**Copyright © 2026–Present [PIGSTY & SILO Contributors](https://pgsty.com)**
Fork maintenance, format conversion, modifications, restored and newly written
content, and Simplified Chinese translation.

Both layers apply at once. A translated or modified page carries MinIO's copyright in the underlying expression and the PGSTY SILO project's copyright in the translation and the changes; neither replaces the other.

## License {#license}

All documentation content on this site is licensed under the
[Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) (CC BY 4.0) — the same license as the upstream work. The full legal text is in [LICENSE](https://github.com/pgsty/silo.pgsty.com/blob/main/LICENSE). The PGSTY SILO software itself is licensed separately; see [License](/about/license/).

## Derivation {#derivation}

Portions of this documentation are derived from the [MinIO Object Storage Documentation](https://github.com/minio/docs). The work has been modified from the original: rebranding to PGSTY SILO, restoration of documentation for features removed upstream, conversion of the frozen RST/MyST source to bilingual Markdown, replacement of the Sphinx presentation layer with Hugo and Docsy, link and build fixes, ongoing maintenance, and translation into Chinese. The [commit history](https://github.com/pgsty/silo.pgsty.com/commits/main/) is the complete record of changes.

Not every page is derived from MinIO. The blog, download and release pages, this section, and PGSTY SILO-specific content are original works of the PGSTY SILO project. Pages that do carry upstream material say so in a notice at the bottom of the page, and pages that PGSTY SILO has changed beyond the format conversion link to their own change history.

## Translation {#translation}

Chinese translations are unofficial and are maintained by the PGSTY SILO project, not by MinIO, Inc. Where a translation and the original English text differ, the English text is authoritative.
