Congrats to @townsxyz@twitter.com for launching. Great to see Dendrite and Matrix in the wild, but unfortunate to see it branded as “Towns Protocol” with zero reference to Matrix: https://towns.com/faq/ Guess it’s time to consider shifting impls to AGPL in the face of proprietary forks.
@devhonk originally we picked Apache to be as generous as possible, but given we’re in a position where the better the protocol gets, the less $ there is to fund folks to work on the core protocol (cf https://matrix.org/blog/2022/12/25/the-matrix-holiday-update-2022) that looks increasingly like an error. No good deed goes unpunished, as the saying goes.
