Synapse and Dendrite relicensed to AGPLv3
, and this is just the beginning.
It’s bad omen to criticize an opensource project, I know, but in my eyes Matrix is a big technical and organizational failure, for not having succeeded in stabilizing the protocol after a whole decade of unsuccessful explorations, and for having its leadership consistently fail to define clear goals and steer the project towards them (just get it done and working well before trying to make it “peer to peer” or “in the metaverse”).If this is the electroshock that Matrix needs to reconsider its design and directions? good for them. If that kills them? Well too bad, but it’s not like they are the only cool kid in town.
Matrix is not an “open source project”. It’s a VC funded company.
This is pretty bad in terms of software freedom. However I see why they did it.
What needs to happen is that Matrix need to focus stability and user friendliness. Right now no major group or company wants it because its a mess
