free as in free speech

are you RETARDED?

GNU Ring? It sucks dick but it's already the FSF approved option

>>61740845
Emphasis on the sucks dick

>>61740550
YES.

>>61740999
there's nothing wrong with selling binaries
just look at RHEL

>>61739968
I don't think there is.
Video chat is a gimmick people wanted 20 years ago.
In order to make a good one you need:
good server support (federation plus easy setup of your own server)
good mobile support (Little to no drain on battery life)
good desktop support (Easy installation, account creation etc)

If you can build this, I think the monetary idea is fine.
Owncloud is selling their mobile client on the android app store.
You can do the same for binaries on your website.

>>61739968
no

Dude, if you want little to no hassle, have them rent servers from him. For only $MONEY a $PERIOD, we can run everything for you, and you don't have to worry about a thing.

That shit is really fucking neat for companies that are used to lync/Skype For Business and other such shit.

You should also integrate it with calendars, so that if I get "Video meeting at 15:30" popping up, I can click a link, and your program will understand and open that link.

Finally you should consider a web client at some point.

It could also have a P2P option

>>61739968
There's already almost a dozen of those, none of them work very well, why do you think you can do any better?

>uses nonfree codecs

Even Tox respects your freedom more.

actually it's well used today, but nobody is concerned at all about the software
all the concerns about video chatting today are the QoS work that has to be done by the network administrators to reduce the hiccups but not rape the WAN link, which isn't something that software on hosts is going to be able to do smartly
