@Johannes Ernst @dʒãŋɡo AFAIK, there are already commercial, proprietary, non-free, closed-source payware apps for Fediverse projects. The Apple App Store almost forces you to put your app under a proprietary license; at least the GPL can't be used there.
However, no user of any Fediverse project should ever be forced to use a non-free, closed-source app, much less a payware app. All features of all projects should always be accessible through fully free, libre, open-source toolchains, and be it Linux/GNU/Wayland/Plasma/Firefox/Web interface, without ever requiring #GAFAM.
No Fediverse feature should ever be exclusive to those who are willing to use
a) Windows
b) macOS
c) ChromeOS
d) iOS
e) manufacturer-issued Android + Google Play Services
