iMessage uses TCP, but that doesn't make it an open source application with an open protocol.
- ZeroGravitas 13y agoDoesn't iChat use XMPP? Whether XMPP or WebRTC are open, and open source, is different from whether services that run on them are open to federation. But what the post I responded to claimed was about the tech, and the tech will be just as standardized and just as open source.
