I&#39;m not saying Matrix is perfect, but considering that (at least Germany) is actively contributing to it, I expect that they also have experienced security researchers looking at the codebase. To use your argument, why go through all that effort if they could have just used WebEx and Teams? Arguing that the devs and auditors are all incompetent is a bit far fetched, don&#39;t you think? 2024-08-26T16:31:54Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsyxssdh4jgst8k6zupxwxs8pla02cy053yzpyy5knsc5r0mj4806qzypd9ghrl8mpasedadxssrxm9shyz88a0m2ag4t5t55g4tptskjlfy94truk In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsy234hs8u2myc3kwmpgy2hhxah2n68wgm9vsq94sgswen9kwtyeqsjqpaj8'>nevent1q…paj8</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Apparently, these issues were already known and not considered to be serious, which is why they remained.<br/><br/><a href="https://mastodon.social/<span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1nwrhfrnpsd04847l9hqy8nqz4mtj3sqgyz3hpuxkvdv5athtqf5qtqq0eh" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Krille - Christian K.</span> (<span class="italic">npub1nwr…q0eh</span>)</a></span>/112965796119221788">https://mastodon.social/<span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1nwrhfrnpsd04847l9hqy8nqz4mtj3sqgyz3hpuxkvdv5athtqf5qtqq0eh" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Krille - Christian K.</span> (<span class="italic">npub1nwr…q0eh</span>)</a></span>/112965796119221788</a><br/><br/>PS: If the issues were as basic and far-reaching as the blog insinuates, why are multiple countries using Matrix for their military and administration? 2024-08-26T14:13:40Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsw0s0tl7dl4s9d8dsk5qcgne0s55x2jv7dk9wsduzhr2qmvrl6sfqzypd9ghrl8mpasedadxssrxm9shyz88a0m2ag4t5t55g4tptskjlfyasnpx2 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsdnt0kexrcvn267zf4lamuvd4uyptlkzjnl7pssn6ucy6q909h7sq9jphrh'>nevent1q…phrh</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>German humour is no laughing matter. 2024-08-21T21:56:47Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsrukfx02z8qkg45nu3x9nv7hqpv5spcwtad580j04jq889lnxx9eqzypd9ghrl8mpasedadxssrxm9shyz88a0m2ag4t5t55g4tptskjlfyulp07j In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqswrfqlykavlzyy2yl7vrzh08htkvw4tqpyzrvce77kw4wf2y6azpcdpje60'>nevent1q…je60</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Licences can prevent you from using a product, if you don&#39;t agree to its terms.

This contract does not need both parties’ signature: it exists by means of simply using the work. If you do not agree to the licence terms you cannot use the software at all. If you use the work without complying with the licence terms, you are violating copyright law.&#34; 2024-08-19T19:16:21Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsfpr7uvt9vr3h9hx8dy750jws9gwtwacg438yt9na8gjr0zlwe3nczypd9ghrl8mpasedadxssrxm9shyz88a0m2ag4t5t55g4tptskjlfyzdv535 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsy349ldng6msuay6998fzxa6v2vw4qpdunv379xt45tcz83cytwwsxrzwmr'>nevent1q…zwmr</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>While I get what you&#39;re trying to say, I would still see hosting as a form of distribution, rather than normal usage. If you&#39;re in the realm of hosting, you have left the space of what your average &#34;end user&#34; is expected to do. In the end, it&#39;s the OSI which decides what they deem as compatible, and they seem to have thought the same 🤷‍♂️ . 2024-08-17T20:45:35Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsdv62wlg577kz3eawwxmzcdpguzmp6p8yr4w9waw7grn3aylq99hgzypd9ghrl8mpasedadxssrxm9shyz88a0m2ag4t5t55g4tptskjlfychlmx7 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsfzc3zd3c7wjjzxf2t024hpd6jtajv7lufjuym27m9skzm9vaag4gjt9pck'>nevent1q…9pck</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>*If you consider hosting a website to be &#34;usage&#34;, you don&#39;t have to provide any source code, because the licensor already does so (as required by Article 3). You would only have to worry about it if you change things, so it&#39;s not really restricting usage.<br/><br/>Edit: You would have to provide a copy yourself, if the licensor only gave you a tarball 😋 2024-08-17T20:08:58Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsfzc3zd3c7wjjzxf2t024hpd6jtajv7lufjuym27m9skzm9vaag4gzypd9ghrl8mpasedadxssrxm9shyz88a0m2ag4t5t55g4tptskjlfymq7z70 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs9j3cyacpe3qj7wma96rvheq5uuw4vtxh0hsf8vmauksekjc6m0tsxqngld'>nevent1q…ngld</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>The German version uses &#34;Zugänglichmachung&#34; (making accessible) instead of &#34;communicating&#34;. If you&#39;re just browsing a website, you&#39;re not making the work accessible (communicating it to others), so it&#39;s not really a usage restriction*. The language is a bit weird, because it can also apply to other works apart from software (like CC BY-SA 3.0). The licence was created by the EU commission, so I&#39;m pretty sure it&#39;s legally sound. 2024-08-17T20:08:53Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqstq9fx5gt2c3uycefm0wtln0lshdpar8ez35qcfz2uj0kcufwnacczypd9ghrl8mpasedadxssrxm9shyz88a0m2ag4t5t55g4tptskjlfynj2pu7 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsglxty9v2yd64ctr36cj4v6jvm86ml79hlcdgxf8v3uchkw0qu0wsgj7ugf'>nevent1q…7ugf</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>The EUPL is similar to AGPL, but requires the licensor to provide the source code in Article 3. Here, it really is a restriction on distribution/communication as explained in Article 5.
