Hey, I can't comment about Matrix's P2P implementation as I haven't played with it yet. It's still a heavy work-in-progress I believe.

Regular Matrix is pretty straight-forward - you join rooms and send events. Events get propagated to all participating/federated servers that are in the room. You watch for incoming events.

The Matrix devs should be able to say more about their P2P implementation. :)

Hey, there's no prob, with Bob!

I can't tell what language Hummingbard is coded in. Hint?

GPL with targeted relaxations is usually a good way to start. You can always relax the license more later if you exercise the foresight to get contributors to allow relaxations per your judgment; and, don't rely on any strict GPL dependencies. Being GPL but not able to use GPL libraries is a funny position to get into, but that's our world.

A reminder: for software designed to be used via the network, the GPL behaves like a permissive licence — you're not distributing binaries to users, so the requirement to publish source code isn't triggered.

If you want forks accessed via the network to publish source code, use the AGPL, otherwise you may as well just use the MIT licence.
