The Matrix.org Foundation

@serebit Indeed, the Foundation's stance is that we'd prefer the projects remain actively maintained under our auspices and unencumbered by a CLA.

We're glad they chose an open source license, and we also think this is a moment for the rest of the ecosystem to shine.

Ultimately, this is a point in favor of protocols, as the spec is the beating heart of Matrix and remains open source *and* under open governance that will only get more open as we seat the first elected Governing Board next year.
