I hate Facebook but realized I can't uninstall the bloatware Messenger app from my phone since I actually need it for Facebook Marketplace (I usually use it for selling second-hand stuff and looking for other products/services). Also I have plenty of friends there and it might be good to reconnect with some without dealing with the spyware Meta shit.

Also something for WhatsApp would be good as well

Maybe they agreed on different license (paid for it) with element directly

@graphito

that would be stealing the code from all of the other contributors. I don't see any signoff to allow them to double-license these contributions.

Element is in full right to multi license their code

@graphito

emphasis on *their*

Other contributors are sending their code under this agreement https://github.com/vector-im/element-web/blob/develop/CONTRIBUTING.md#sign-off

That's great that you spent some time researching this -- good job, I didn't know about this caveat, thank you for informing me. However, I have no affiliation with the company and recommend to ask about this issue from Beeper team directly.
