I’m interested in hearing more about this. I recall there being a mixup in packaging and people asked a bunch of questions about licensing. But as far as I can tell the client and server code is still available as open source (under various licenses) and the repos are frequently updated.
This is an honest question, I promise. I haven’t found anything that points to regular users being pushed to anything proprietary, and no new discussions since late 2024.
Afaik they pushed code that belonged to them and might not entirely be legal to compile yourself due to the code having a different licence. I believe they have 2 things now: the code is still open source, but a part of it is not free to use. The code can still be compiled by using different libraries and I think they support both but it was hard to understand so I don’t really know.
Also the affected code wasn’t on a super important feature iirc

I might be completely wrong though
It was an accidental fuckup on their end that they fixed
