Mastodon said it sent a formal letter to 'Truth Social' after media reports found the site was using Mastodon's codebase while not respecting a part of its software license.
as far as i understand it, the outcome varies for different licenses but under AGPLv3 the cure provision is that once the 30 days are up, the license is revoked and legally speaking that means Truth social would be not only using but distributing unlicensed software. in that case, Mastodon has full and complete legal grounds to successfully sue them for copyright infringement.

they basically have a 30 day grace period to fess up and comply or face the wrath of angry FOSSheads and more than half of the country lol
Thank you
