> wonder if the sync feature will be open source

According to [1] they don't plan to open source it due to "business considerations."

I'm not against people making a buck, but as far as I understand this isn't permitted by the AGPL, which logseq's current authors are bound to as much as anyone else. (Unless they have all past contributors grant them a secondary license.)

It's likely the sync protocol will be reimplemented for self-hosting, but I'd assume the mobile apps will hardcode the server address to encourage use of their paid sync service.

I'm wondering if there's something wrong with marketing something as open-source, privacy first and collaborative if the sync part is not open source.
