Why not open source this bridge too, like everything else in the Matrix ecosystem?
- baby 6y agoWhat good would that do?

That license is accepted by the Free Software community while being universally rejected by business as toxic and dangerous. No business will pick up the bridge and use it, while Free Software people can still use it for their own purposes (whatever those might be).
- mannerheim 6y agoIt's a bridge to a proprietary service. Free software adherents don't have MS Teams subscriptions, and those with MS Teams subscriptions aren't going to care about the bridge being proprietary.

Such people like myself might use Reddit (closed source for some time now), but use open source app like Slide or plain old Firefox. For such people, an open source element bridge to teams is best of both worlds.
