[–] pirrrrrrrr@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 2 years ago (2 children) Open-source it a better interface then. Until it's as useful as at least Sync for Lemmy, people will use 3rd party proprietary apps permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] hackris@lemmy.ml -3 points 2 years ago (2 children) I mean isn't Lemmy licensed under the AGPL? I'm just asking because AFAIK a proprietary client is not even allowed under this license. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] SeriousBug@infosec.pub 24 points 2 years ago (2 children) You couldn't make a proprietary server. Client is fine, AGPL doesn't apply when you are accessing the server over a public API. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] hackris@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago Thank you, didn't know this :) permalink fedilink source parent [–] aspensmonster@lemmygrad.ml -1 points 2 years ago (1 child) AGPL doesn’t apply when you are accessing the server over a public API. The AGPL does apply when interacting with the covered work (Lemmy server) over a network. A proprietary client would still nevertheless be required, upon request, to furnish you with the source code of the covered work it is talking to over the network (the Lemmy server). permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] boyi@lemmy.sdf.org -1 points 2 years ago Do you really know what you are talking about? I think you're bullshitting. We are talking about propriety client which doesnt modified the source codes of the server. permalink fedilink source parent [+] SeriousBug@infosec.pub 1 point 2 years ago [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent [–] sir_reginald@lemmy.world -4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) There are a bunch of good FOSS Lemmy clients, which I'd argue are as good as Sync or Boost (I can't know for sure since I don't use proprietary software, I judge by the screenshots). Jerboa sucks, I'll give you that. But both Voyager and Eternity are high quality clients that work amazingly well and are constantly updated. They have plenty of features and are very configurable. permalink fedilink source parent
