    It sounds like “the people” is just Migi, unless I’m misunderstanding. The guy who EEE’d Beeper.

      How did Migi embrace, extend, and extinguish Beeper‽

            The beeper apps were never open source to begin with

            Incorrect. They were open source right up until they moved over to the new Beeper app.

              I’ve been with them since the first alphas, and no, the mobile and desktop apps, and the server implementation were never open source, only the mautrix and beeper bridges. Nothing has changed with the new apps, and the local bridges (that run in your phone with the app) will also be open sourced on release.

                Any word on Beepy V2? Migicovsky’s been pretty quiet on that lately.

          Where did you read that? The github pages are all still open and receiving updates, you can still self-host the bridges and its under the apache-2.0 license, just like it’s always been.

            I didn’t read anything I looked it up. The app and the new “Beeper cloud” server are both closed source.

              I’d suggest looking in to it farther. The commenter above basically covered it, but no, beeper is not all closed source. Their hosted server has never been open source, but all the self-hosted bridges have been, and continue to be. You can run your own, open source, self-hosted beeper server, just like you’ve always been able to. There’s nothing embrace, extend extinguish about that.
