   Hi,
   I can add that riot for desktop is built on top of Electron, which is
   non free.
   Librement,

Hi,
That was my assumption too. Especially as there is a request for
packaging riot in the Guix Libreplanet page.
 From what I have heard it is basically the non-free addons and the
Google Captca that seems to be the problem.
The first is just a site that we don't have to connect or remove stuff
from there.
The second one they are working towards replacing it and I think we
could patch it and remove it if needed.

     Also I think having a bunch of semi-official channel using
     Non-FreeSoftware like Riot does't help anybody.
     I would like to ask is it in the works to have an official FSF/GNU
     server in the future? Are there any blockers I can help with?

     Hi,
     I was curious about you saying that Riot is not free software. I
     just
     checked their repository in github and it uses the Apache License.
     I'm
     working as a consultor for a company that it's building its product
     using Matrix (synaps) and Riot, and I though both of them were free
     (as
     in freedom) software with a permissive license.
