I'm not a lawyer, but my interpretation of "this software" is OpenSSL, which wouldn't apply this clause to all advertising of discord features. It would be when they run advertisements that reference discord features that rely specifically on OpenSSL features. Which, isn't going to be that often, right?

Is this a known issue that's been brought up before? I've never heard of it, and would be interested to read up on it! I'm especially curious as to their response.
- jhgg 7y agoWe are not aware of non-compliance with the OpenSSL license. We attribute usage of OpenSSL in our licenses page (along with all the other OSS projects we use.) https://discordapp.com/licenses https://discordapp.com/licenses - reproducing the copyright notice as required by condition 2 of the license: > Redistributions in binary form must reproduce the above copyright notice, this list of conditions and the following disclaimer in the documentation and/or other materials provided with the distribution. As for condition 3, I am unable to locate any marketing materials which mention the usage of OpenSSL. However, if any such material exists that is in non-compliance we are very interested in ensuring that we are in compliance.
