Hey, thanks :) Yes I wish more people were interested in this :) It seems that neither Spanish or English forum had much interest. Some even said is bad because comes from a company. Which personally I found sad. Because we should celebrate new companies are joining the free software

Hi albertoefg I don't know why nobody seems to care about your post / is only referring to other so far unfinished solutions (ring is beta at the moment). I think it's great news and I can't wait to check it out! However, do you know about WebRTC? There are a lot of providers out there

I'm in intrigued. Three questions: Is Wire just a mobile OS thing or are there clients for desktop/ laptop? Why is using Wire better than using Mumble? It's also a server/ client voice chat app, there are clients for all major OS (desktop and mobile), and all the server and client software

Well you can see the code in the same comment, it is under GPLv3. It also has end to end encryption and was independently audited recently: https://medium.com/@wireapp/wires-independent-security-review-61f37a1762a8 It is also based on Swiss and they do reports of every request they get

Well, free/libre software isn't perfect, we should perhaps start taking feedback from these people who didn't understand it. :) We can do for example, questions like: - What is the difficulty in detail? - Why do you want it to be in [such way]? Then, make a bug report (in the bug tracker, not

Indeed, at first glance its source files seem to be free/libre because of the license you mentioned (I didn't check the dependencies, but I will relax my arguing just for the purpose of the final thought, and so I'll assume that the dependencies are also free/libre). Point in case: source files

GNU Ring is great. However my family and friends had lots of problems to use it. With Wire they have had none. And as the server is free under AGPL and it has encryption by default on client side, privacy and freedom are not issues.

What do you think of this https://wire.com/en/legal/#license-restrictions-and-conditions-of-use ? (especially 6 and 7) It's a bit confusing. It forbids certain things like selling the application unless you make your own application and it doesn't connect to their servers.

I'd suggest to use GNU Ring, distributed, even better than federated. :) Because it's distributed: the client itself is the provider of his "availability", and can also "help" other clients on delivering messages (when they are off-line). :) At least for GNU Ring, the messages are bounced three
