Ok, their license is pretty strange: https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost/blob/master/LICENSE...

MIT for binaries distributed by Mattermost.

But, if you compile it yourself: GNU AGPL v3.0 XOR Paid-for Enterprise License

Then, for some odd reason, they append the text of Apache License Version 2.0!!!

The frontend parts are explicitly and correctly licensed under the Apache license in the header of the same file.

They also have a FAQ: https://docs.mattermost.com/product-overview/faq-license.htm...

Note that they have multiple licenses. This isn't entirely uncommon. The difference licenses apply to different things.

Ooh, I see it now, right in the middle:

"...You are licensed to use the source code in Admin Tools and Configuration Files (server/templates/, server/i18n/, server/public/, webapp/ and all subdirectories thereof) under the Apache License v2.0...."

Worth clicking for the "Microslop" logo alone!

Apparently it moved (at least for me): https://m0u9gezmt0.ufs.sh/f/5F1wx5BYZG1wbDc8WftgL2Nrvz9BolE3...

Curious to see how the Favicon will change too!

I'd love to try this, but i worry about embedded malware or other nastiness in random downloads.

Don't worry. Thousands of users are running NEO and taking advantage of it. It's well tested and mostly error free. Would love your feedback.

Very strange and totally surprising!

In other, completely unrelated news, the US AG, Pam Bondi, offered to recall ICE from MN, IN EXCHANGE for some sensitive data sets from the state.

High birth rates in low-resource localities seems like a poor survival strategy.

Unless the new people are used as an army to take the needed resources from others...

OMG, "Apple Pay: Card Icon Changes Address" bit me recently!

I selected a different credit card on Apple Pay and my skis were shipped to my ex-wife's house instead of mine, because it quietly changed the address!

Good thing we're in the same town...

"...where we could replace humans with as little quality degradation as possible"

This is pretty much the whole goal of capitalism since the 1800's

Yeah, it sure smells "Putin-y"

The irony in needing to contain Russia by taking Greenland, also while bleeding Ukraine dry and appeasing Russia.

The strangest thing is that no one has learned from Ukraine and started buying Chines drones let alone larger arms deals as insurance against the threats in proximity.

The entire world smells Putin-y and has for a while. His influence is everywhere, and I believe much is the sickly state the world is in currently is due to him.

I'm not sure the AGPL license is a good choice for this.

None of Django, Rails, Pocketbase or Supabase, which I think count as competitors, use AGPL.

Unless you can clarify that custom hooks and schemas are outside of the AGPL license, SnackBase may be a non-starter for commercial use.

Fair point.

Honestly, I picked AGPL mainly to prevent "cloud wrapping". I definitely don't intend for your business logic to get infected by it.

In my view, the custom hooks and schemas are "content/configuration" rather than derivative works, but I get that running in-process makes that legally murky.

To clear that up, I'll add a specific linking exception (like the Classpath Exception) to explicitly exempt user-defined hooks from the license. I want this to be safe for commercial teams to self-host, just not safe for cloud providers to resell.

I still think Apple should, at least to Apple One customers, offer small, private models, trained on your personal imessage, image and video archives in icloud. With easy-to-use, granular controls for content inclusion/exclusion.

Will make it much easier to find those missing pictures from a few years ago...
