@aproposnix we do not have any intention of appropriating our work here and, frankly, usually do not discuss licenses very much.

@delta with all due respect, this is the same thing so many MIT projects say. If the licensing is not such a topic, why not switch to AGPL?

@aproposnix because we do not currently see much point in putting a particular restriction on the usage of the chatmail collection of recipes and modules -- what disadvantages do you see? What would be the attacker/exploiter of the MIT license here?

@delta @aproposnix not allowing code to be privatised is a good restriction

@decentral1se @aproposnix we are generally sympathetic to try prevent corporate enclosure .... But hardly any commercial entity could run chatmail as is .... Both the open signup and the "only encrypted messages may travel freely" are geared towards public usage. If you replace both parts in chatmail you are basically using a regular postfix and dovecot and you can do this without any copying of code from the repo.
Moreover corporates prefer docker and kybernetes and what have you, not pyinfra.
