Gregory's Server@matrix I think the Matrix team has done a lot of things right over the years, and think this change should be met with that in mind. I do have a few questions:
1. My reading of the CLA is it's necessary for Element to offer proprietary versions of the software or integration with proprietary changes that would normally violate AGPLv3. Is that correct?
@mirdaki Yes, thank you. We also believe the historical perspective is important in understanding what is happening and what may follow.
With regards to the reasoning for the CLA, our position is that we'd prefer the projects to remain under our auspices and unencumbered by a CLA – and that Element is the only one who can answer the question as to why they're implementing one.
