If people stopped using G in such high percentage, then they would most likely need to adapt back to a more open internet, instead of trying to wall it off around their services.

Reminds me of jabber.ccc.de that stopped providing new accounts because they felt they were ruining a federated system.

I would recommend Wire ( https://wire.com/en/ ). All mobile and desktop OS and web too. In my experience it's reliable and private and the company behind it is extremely open and supportive of its users.

I am not affiliated, I just like it.

Man, windows 10 already does that. In the advanced update options there is a distributing method menu and it is pretty clear they are using our machines to distribute updates to others.

Disclaimer: Haven't checked in a while and can not do it now, but it was there until not long ago.

Thanks mcherm, this is the best counter-argument to the WTFPL I read all day. I am myself extremely curious about what would happen in these two circumstances: 1) someone uses my work and then sues me for copyright infringment; 2) my work harms people.
