@Polychrome @mattburgess it’s us testing interop with WA, using Matrix - not the Matrix.org Foundation (as the article says :)

📣⚠️📣 Announcing a new home and license (AGPLv3) for Synapse and friends: going forwards Element’s work on Synapse, Dendrite & related server-side projects is going to be released as AGPLv3 rather than Apache.

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

@be @shauna @luis_in_brief @cwebber @root This is really interesting. Will need to check if it would stop us dual-licensing (which is the only reason for the CLA), but there is ZERO intention to switch license to non-OSI... which obviously Apache allowed too.

@amatecha @matrix @liaizon https://element.io/blog/the-online-safety-bill-an-attack-on-encryption gives an idea of our position. And no, there are no backdoors. Yes, we fund Matrix dev by selling encrypted messaging to governments, which includes police: if you don’t like that then please feel free to use a different app.
