   @element whats the use of an agpl exception? For me that translates to "proprietary code that should be contributed back if covered by the agpl", eg. shit you dont want to show publicly. Police backdoors for example?

   You're still trying to look good with a strict copyleft license while doing all you can to circumvent it when convenient.

     @f4grx the only reason for the CLA is not to relicense but to allow dual-licensing for selling AGPL exceptions.

     @element but a CLA completely negates any benefit of copyleft, if you can relicense everything as proprietary when you decide so. Again you are not giving me confidence to use matrix. You want too much control.
