#8x8.com, a 300M$/year revenue company, purchased #Jitsi in October 2018: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8x8

What is their business model in your opinion?

Notice:
* Jitsi is licenced #Apache (not #GPL), hence it can turn proprietary and be killed any time: github.com/jitsi
* Jitsi uses STUN servers of #Google by default: mastodon.social/@FuckOffGoogle

Regarding STUN, that's the same problem as with HTTP 204 connectivity check - only few orgs (Google and Mozilla) maintain public instances of this service and you have to use *something* when you ship software.

With STUN I'm not aware of any public servers, so that's why they went for Google most likely.

As long as it's configurable I think it's OK.
