Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Why you think this is bad for software freedom?
It allows for proprietary use of a FOSS. Its true that almost all of the contributions are from element but that doesn't make it right.
Element is in trouble and they are trying to stay afloat
Quite the opposite. Synapse was licenced under Apache licence, which allowed everybody to make proprietary fork.
Now only Element can do proprietary fork, as they are the copyright owners and owner of the work can relicence the software as they want.
The CLA that Element require to contribute changes to their Synapse version is the controversial thing. Because if you contribute, the lines of code you made are your copyright, so if Element takes at least one community contribution the would be locked to AGPL. What CLA does is that you sign off those rights.
