Here is the chat history of kaidan@conference.siacs.eu.
[17:33:10] Marzanna: Hello
[17:56:28] Marzanna: Looking at the code... I don't think I can compile it in SailfishOS SDK. I need to install dependencies first. I just need to figure out how.
[17:56:52] Marzanna: BTW does EchoBot work?
[18:28:31] LNJ: I think yes (I did not tried it out)
[18:28:47] LNJ: geobra / schorsch wrote it.
[18:29:17] LNJ: It's just a demostration of the library
[18:29:29] jbb (jbbgameich@jabber.de) hat den Chatraum betreten
[18:30:43] LNJ: Hello JBB

[18:31:04] jbb: Hello, can you please look at the messages I wrote to you on telegram?
[18:31:14] LNJ: aha yes...
[18:32:10] Marzanna: Are you using Telegram? Traitors! :P
[18:34:12] LNJ: ... it's just works well ... aeehm
[18:35:09] jbb: xD There is still no cool XMPP client for desktop, so I used telegram too, let's change this!
[18:35:28] LNJ: That's a reason why we do this, we want to have our own server and well working client!
[18:35:43] Marzanna: I've deleted my Telegram account recently. I never really used it.
[18:36:01] jbb: and standarts compliant client, not everyone doing it's own standart
[18:36:15] LNJ: http://bit.ly/2e5Xe7shttps://share.conversations.im/lnj/uGMfBDXr34zCbcLC/ircHashtag.png
[18:36:34] LNJ: I just tried out the http upload
[18:36:49] jbb: Good thing is: Telegram desktop is open-source and it's written in QML I think, so we can maybe copy the design a bit :D
[18:37:24] Marzanna: I agree that design is good.
[18:37:28] LNJ: but I should better disable this url shortener

[18:39:40] LNJ: What about the license of this project?
[18:39:58] LNJ: I would suggest GPLv3+
[18:40:21] Marzanna: My preferences are WTFPL, BSD
[18:40:52] LNJ: ah WTFPL, I just use it for smaller things
[18:41:52] LNJ: But here are my reasons why not to use one of these licenses (LGPL, WTFPL, BSD?, ...): https://www.gnu.org/licenses/why-not-lgpl.html
[18:42:03] LNJ: But I would be also ok with them
――――――――――――――――――――
[18:43:24] Marzanna: Frankly speaking, I don't know much about licenses. If I publish something I just mark it as public domain (IIRC)
[18:43:39] LNJ: I don't want that this project can be used in proprietary projects / can be forked and made proprietary

[18:44:40] LNJ: Public domain is not a good idea, because it is not accepted in many countries (like Germany *Thanks Merkel xD*)
