Never read something more wrong about the subject. I sounds like you don’t actually know what Free Software refers to, and that it has nothing to do with the price.
Short and not completely true answer: Free Software and Open Source are the same thing, just with different reasoning behind them. Hence “FOSS” and “FLOSS” are also used, which combine both terms.
How would encryption even make sense here? Up to the server, everything is protected via TLS. And if you don’t trust the server provider, you can encrypt all you want, but they can just read out the RAM of the VPS or they could have backdoored the bare metal hardware to do the same. As long as the server has to somehow work with the data in question, the decryption keys have to be somewhere in there. And what do you mean by code integration? We’re talking FOSS here, how could someone prevent me from removing any “is everything encrypted?” checks in Mastodon? Also, what does the encryption on other federated instances even matter? Without having any in depth knowledge about Mastodon, your user agent will hardly be sent to other instances, and when and what you posted is meant to be visible.
What’s missing from the existing ones?
That’s what I’ve been using for a few years now, with SimpleCalendar (soon Fossify) on my phone. Didn’t have any problems yet.
Do you have an example? I am pretty sure that a FOSS license which requires companies to pay is impossible.
Open Source guarantees that anyone can give the software to a company for free:
And it guarantees that the company can then use it freely:
