That might explain why Beeper moved away from the fork of the android Element client. I assume they are running a fork of Synapse as the backend as well.

- Arathorn 2y agoBeeper run a fork of Synapse, but they release their changes under AGPL for the benefit of everyone: https://github.com/beeper/synapse https://github.com/beeper/synapse They moved away from forking Element before we relicensed to AGPL. I rather wish we had licensed Element as copyleft from the outset, as then presumably they would have contributed all the nice Beeper UI back to upstream rather than making a proprietary fork.
- kldx 2y agoThanks for the clarification, I stand corrected. I really hope they open source their new android client - they are lacking tons of features I'm used to from the element-based android client.
