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: towns.com/faq/ Guess it’s time to consider shifting impls to AGPL in the face of proprietary forks.

@matrix I think using the *A*GPL for reference server-side implementations would be pretty much needed to avoid ending up like XMPP with a bunch of proprietary forks around(like Whatsapp's fork of ejabberd)

@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 matrix.org/blog/2022/12/25/the) that looks increasingly like an error. No good deed goes unpunished, as the saying goes.

Please just move on with AGPL for Dendrite, while it's relatively young project - as compared to Synapse, anyway. Server implementations need to be more transparent and gather a supporting framework, and being stuck with Apache license is kinda missing out on that front.
