You're the author of a secure messaging system who is, to put it lightly, notorious for throwing shade on other people's secure messaging projects. This comment is a perfect example: OWS demanded that Wire comply with the GPL, and you've declared that "drama", and suggested that Wire was somehow "not allowed" to port it to Rust.

Your messages on Twitter are right there for everyone to read.

Here's a helpful starting point:

The preceding link where you referred, unbidden, to Moxie's last post about their take on federation for their own implementation of Signal as a "dishonest rant" is left as an exercise for the reader.

It's pretty hard to reach a conclusion on this issue without spending some (more than I'm willing to) time looking at the code. I'm not sure I like the claiming of copyright on other implementations. I guess this is because they use a dual-licensing business model? Which would be understandable, but they should probably communicate that clearer.

These kinds of arguments may have force on Reddit, but they're verboten on HN. You need to engage the argument itself and not try to dredge things up about the arguer.
