[ANSOL-geral] Friendship from france!

[maxime freepote]

Exactly, I'm talking about Telegram server-side.

Quoting wikipedia.org :
> License          GNU GPLv2 or GPLv3 (clients), proprietary (server)

If you want to self-host : you have to develop your own implementation of the
protocol.

If you want to use your own authentication services (i.e. if the ones from
Telegram company are down), it's not possible.

There are alternatives, as XMPP, that has proven it's efficiency since years.

Thanks for your answer,
Maxime
