Wire App is exploiting the open source community (Cross-Origin restrictions)

Sounds shady, but I think the real problem isn't that Wire is exploiting the open source community, but that OP is somehow still willing to work on a project that is clearly close-sourced.

If their server is close-sourced like OP stated, then why is he building on their platform to begin with? There are plenty of other open source chat protocols much more dedicated to being open.

My point is, sounds like the solution to this problem isn't to get Wire to open up CORS but to move on to another truly open project.
