@snder Yup every part of the app is available to see and check out.

@JPEG Very nice mate! But I can also run my ‘own’ version locally on my iPhone?

@snder I'm not too strict on licenses, so be my guest. All I advise is to not plagiarise or sell it as your own.

@JPEG Ofcourse not but that goes without saying my friend ;-)

Isn't it an idea that you can maybe create some sort of Mastodon app template that connects to one specific instance only? I think many server admins love that some sort of a 'dedicated' app to their instance! (especially me )

@snder That's a great idea and will be cool to see you implement that, bypassing the initial instance entry page!

@JPEG Exactly! I've been searching for this for so long now haha.. I kinda gave up and offered my users the default mastodon apps page..

@snder @JPEG Ooooooo...

Companies like DoubleDutch do something similar for their appa, same basic codebase but connect to one org’s instance of the event platform.

You’ve got a potentially very interesting opportunity here @joeg@mastodon.technology... should you decide to do it.

@JPEG @snder you put it under GPLv3. Si it's not open source, it's free and thank you for this :-)

@carxwol @JPEG @snder isn't open source and free the same thing?

@spirit @JPEG @snder open source is a portmanteau word, when free is more specific. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_free_and_open-source_software_licenses

@JPEG Reading that toot, I wonder whether you know what GPL means ...
https://github.com/ShihabM/Mast/blob/master/LICENSE

@JPEG Woohooo, congraulations! Very nice! Let's boost this to infinity! :)

@js Thank you! :)

@momentum No worries!

@Admin Had to be done!

@JPEG debatable, but it is your call 😅

@Admin Haha this way I can accept pull requests too!

@JPEG that’s fair! It’ll be interesting to see if the sales increase or decrease, or if people rip off the app. Best of luck though!

@Admin An experiment for sure, but hopefully positive!

@puresick Thanks! Felt it was the right thing to do.

@crowpersona Exactly! And I'm welcoming of pull requests too so will be great to see where this goes.

@JPEG do you plan on populating the issue tracker with your current list of outstanding issues? Not urgent, just so that we know your plans in this regard.

@crowpersona I'll get round to it soon! :)

@kurzgedanke I will indeed! I'm more than happy to accept them and see what people have to contribute.

@kurzgedanke Thanks!

@tewha Can't wait to see what you'll come up with, open to PRs. :)

@mattdaddy iOS only unfortunately!

@aral That's very encouraging and kind of you, thank you! And thank you for the purchase too. :)

@aral Hey, my bad! Any guidance on where I can find this or how to amend it to the required license?

@JPEG Sure: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.en.html – GitHub should have the option to select it / create your LICENSE file directly also.

@aral Already got a GPL3 license, am I missing something?

@JPEG Oh, cool. It just conflicts with the “Permission is granted to use the source code, but not to sell it as your own.” in the readme. As it’s under GPL and since it must be relicensed for the App Store (and since only you can do that as you have the copyright), it means no one can sell it on the App Store. The “not to sell it as your own” competes with the GPL license & muddies the licensing (is it an extension to the GPL, etc.) I’d remove that sentence & you’re golden.

@aral Thanks for the clarity, I understand it much better now and have changed the ReadMe to reflect the advice. :)

@kornifex Thank you. :)

@fdy Thanks!

@zer0her0 Thank you for the purchase!

@hugo Thank you for the kind words! It's quite messy but everything's there now.

@uliwitness Sounds good! Can't wait to see what you make.
