@mistergibson @ame GNU/Jihad against "open source" and all other forms of proprietary software!!!!

Just because a protocol is documented doesn't mean that proprietary clients cannot be written.


Reviewing the `git clone https://github.com/element-hq/element-web` repo - in the README the license is claimed to be AGPLv3-or-later or GPLv3-or-later or degenerate proprietary license, but when you read the files it says; SPDX-License-Identifier: AGPL-3.0-only OR GPL-3.0-only OR LicenseRef-Element-Commercial

The scripts under scripts/ have no license and the comment in the README states "This software", which could arguably only apply to the compiled form and not the supporting scripts.

yarn.lock lists 1717 dependencies!

Unless each and every one of those dependencies are free software, element is proprietary software.

I haven't yet seen a single free software program written in a substantial amount of JavaScript or TypeScript.
