License clarification: Include matrix-rust-sdk in a license-compliant way // was: Check if we can use AGPL-3.0 code in the apps

Problem

Some of the code required to work with the matrix-rust-sdk comes from Element-X and is licensed under AGPL-3.0. Because of AGPL's copyleft clause, we cannot use AGPL-licensed code in our repositories without re-licensing everything to AGPL.

Goal

Find a way how to use matrix-rust-sdk in a license-compliant way.

ACs

  • A license-compliant way is defined on how to include the matrix-rust-sdk in our app (#169) and web client (#170).

Notes/ resources

Possible solutions include:

  • Avoid using AGPL-licensed code and re-write everything we need to include matrix-rust-sdk on our own.
  • Agree with Element about dual-licensing their glue code.
