Gregory's Server@matrix Why is it tough? The license changed for the better. I haven't heard anything else besides that, did something else happen?

 AGPL is good, but the CLA means they can take your contributions and do whatever they want. And only them, nobody else. It's a perfect way to take open-source contributions and monopolize their position while taking profit and not having to give anything back. |
@chocolatefossty We definitely like that the new license they chose is still open source! AGPLv3 seems very appropriate, though we'd prefer for the projects to remain with the Foundation and without a CLA.
The net of all this may end up being a boon for Element and/or the ecosystem, that remains to be seen.
In the meantime, it definitely adds to the workload for the Foundation – in navigating the changes, and in building trust in our work.
