    Not trying to be that guy, but ActivityPub is technically owned by the W3C. I agree with the sentiment of your post regarding the free nature of AP.

        AP is just a protocol. Like HTTP. The IETF owns the HTTP protocol. Anyone is free to implement it, but they decide what HTTP is and how it evolves over time.

          I don’t believe many people implementing AP listen to W3C. W3C can say they own it, but I want to see practical evidence, not just a flag.

      The specification yes. But can they silence voices they don’t like, and amplify those they do? No? Then no problem.
