WireApp: Axolotl and Proteus

• cm3 10y ago
  Does this mean Wire won the argument? To resolve the dispute amicably, we agreed to dismiss our claims in exchange for a release of the claims Moxie had made against us. I cannot make absolute sense of this. Was the result that Wire now published Moxie's claims in their blog post and fulfilled their agreement?

    tl;dr Moxie threatened to sue. They actually sued. Result: Wire's impl is fine. > Proteus is published as open-source under GPLv3 and we will continue to work with the community to make it available under less restrictive licensing conditions. This is the curious part of the post to me. libsodium is ISC. What work do they need to do?

      Without details (breaking/following license rules) this looks scary and unrealistic if you consider that they want many Axolotl implementations out there. Proteus being written in Rust could make it the prime implementation if it were liberally licenses. Finally an OTR-next competitor that's built statically and doesn't require a VM while being implemented in a reasonably safe language (which is important for security software).
