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

Derivation

Portions of this documentation are derived from the MinIO Object Storage Documentation:

• Upstream project: https://github.com/minio/docs
• Community source: https://github.com/pgsty/minio-docs
• Original author attribution: MinIO Documentation Team
• Original copyright notice: 2020-Present, MinIO, Inc.

The English corpus was migrated from commit 88f925575e254a2782e084811b23662c31cf335e on main; the Simplified Chinese corpus was migrated from commit 96a7d6b884dae84f819cdda4357a83f6a6512cfd on zh.

The work has been modified from the original. Modifications include rebranding to Silo, restoration of documentation for features removed upstream, converting the frozen RST/MyST source to bilingual Markdown, replacing the Sphinx presentation layer with Hugo and Docsy, mapping navigation and semantic components, preserving or aliasing public URLs and anchors, relocating content assets without re-encoding them, link and build fixes, ongoing maintenance, and translation into Chinese. The commit history is the complete record of changes.

Not every page is derived from MinIO. Pages written from scratch by the Silo project — the blog, release and download pages, and Silo-specific content — are original works of the Silo project. Provenance is tracked per page in the front matter, and rendered at the bottom of each page:

upstream_link: https://github.com/minio/docs  # derived from this material
upstream_modified: true                       # changed by Silo beyond conversion

Translation

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