Attribution

Copyright, derivation, and translation notices for the Silo documentation, and how to credit it when you reuse it.

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

Copyright © 2026–Present PIGSTY & SILO Contributors 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 Silo project’s copyright in the translation and the changes; neither replaces the other.

License

All documentation content on this site is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC BY 4.0) — the same license as the upstream work. The full legal text is in LICENSE. The Silo software itself is licensed separately; see License.

Derivation

Portions of this documentation are derived from the MinIO Object Storage Documentation. The work has been modified from the original: rebranding to 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 is the complete record of changes.

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

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.
