- LadyCailin 4y agoBut would AGPL have gotten traction in the first place? I guess we can’t say for sure, but my guess is no. I think it safe to say that at minimum it would be an additional barrier to entry.
- sschueller 4y agoMastodon and peertube are both AGPL
- LadyCailin 4y agoI’d say the jury is still out on Mastadon (and anyways would not be competitive except for Twitter imploding), and I haven’t even heard of the other one, so I’m not sure this is a compelling argument.
- Arathorn 4y agothe problem of AGPL for Matrix is that it would have likely impeded uptake significantly. But yes, it’s something we’ve considered.
