It’s nice to see a real example of a company doing the right thing.

Doesn’t happen all that often.


EDIT: I stand corrected. This is not all that great. Not terrible, yet, but the the path is no longer clear.

    To me as a contributor, yes it is worse, because now the matrix foundation is not only a defacto gatekeeper but also a legal one. Previously, we were legally on equal terms. We would also be on equal terms had they just adopted the AGPL3, which I would have whole heartey endorsed. A CLA is a one sided power grab made in bad faith and I for one will not invest time and energy into a project that is set up in such a way. Burned one time too many.
