@element is the pro version still open source, just with a price tag?
That's fine IMO. I think open source should be paid for by those that can, if the product is good. This is the approach @futo are taking and I see nothing wrong with it. Open to contrary opinions though, as I'm relatively new to the open source world.
My angle is that I want to see money diverted away from #bigtech and towards privacy-respecting open source products we can trust.
