    It’s funny because I use mastodon’s WPA on my phone rather than a mobile app and I love it.

    So far I’ve been loving the lemmy mobile web version, it still has a long way to go but I enjoy it. I perceive most people actually like more native apps rather than their web versions.

    Edit: wait why did you pick the GPL2 over the 3? Just a question.

      why GPL 2 over 3?

      this probably deserves a separate post. Long story short I know very little about licenses so I just went with what sounded better after some research. So we are more than happy to change if someone convinces us

          It sounds really good, for this case of use, I think the GPL3 is much better than the GPL2.

          Summarizing.

          1. Better defense against patents compared with the GPL2.
          2. Tivoization is not something of particular concern here.
          3. Compatibility with the apache license.

              Well this is a client for a social media that is already AGPL3 so I don’t see the problem.

                  Fair enough, AGPL3 would be a good option.

      • @lorabe

        Well most apps work perfectly fine with the use of GPL3; lemmy for example uses AGPL3 which is the GPL3 license but adapted to the SAAS environment, even F-Droid uses GPL3.

        I don’t see anything wrong with the GPL2 outside of the fact that is not compatible with the GPL3, if you’re concerned about dynamic linking and such I would advise the use of the LGPL3 which is compatible with the GPL3 license. But the GPL2 is fine.
