Synapse will soon be getting forked by Element under an AGPLv3.0 licence (with

CLA, for proprietary dual licensing). You can read more about this here:

* https://matrix.org/blog/2023/11/06/future-of-synapse-dendrite/
* https://element.io/blog/element-to-adopt-agplv3/

Any changes needed by server administrators will be communicated via our usual
announcements channels, but we are striving to make this as seamless as possible.
