If the server code were open, how would you know the server was actually running that code anyway?
Not much. But it would allow others to run the server code and offer similar service, at the very least.
Having the protocol documented so thoroughly makes the task of writing an alternative server trivial if time-consuming. I'd obviously prefer the server were AGPL, and I hope someone will write an AGPL'd server and federation.
Of course. The "time-consuming" part is what bothers me. I *could* throw in an hour or two to set-up a peerio server had the code been available; I have absolutely *no way in hell* of throwing in days or weeks of work to implement their protocol.
For now though, the client is open source, the crypto doesn't suck, the UX is excellent, and the threat model is pretty transparent. I'm *never* going to inflict PGP on friends, but I'll happily inflict this on them.
So far, as far as I can see, you're not even inflicting PGP on us here, let alone your friends. -- Pozdrawiam, Michał "rysiek" Woźniak Zmieniam klucz GPG :: http://rys.io/pl/147 GPG Key Transition :: http://rys.io/en/147
