Gregory's Server@scy @schmittlauch @matrix yup, precisely. so if that isn't an option for you, don't sign the CLA and maintain your code in a separate tree. The impact to contributors sucks, but the alternative sucks even more.

@scy @element @schmittlauch @matrix "You could just ask for donations, you know?" They have been doing that for more than 6 years, now. There are many that have donated - including me, however generally the amount of donations they received is pretty underwhelming. If at all, enough for an one man show. |
@element @schmittlauch @matrix You do realize that most open source contributors only contribute because they have a strong belief in open source & want their code to _stay_ FLOSS?
I mean, I get it, Element is struggling to make ends meet, so you're taking a gamble that being the biggest player in the Matrix ecosystem will make people contribute anyway, and that the community doesn't have the resources to maintain Synapse & Dendrite on their own.
