Scaling of group messages is simple however. With one server per group you get a long way. Lets say, 2000 connections per server on average. Usually about 1/10th of the users is online, so you can keep adding groups to a server until the total number of group members is around 20,000. Then you

It's possible to willingly agree to liability and wave whatever protections you wish that are normally under the GPL, which seems to be what the TPV asks you to do. The issue most people seem to have is that it's not explicit in this regard and it also doesn't make it clear that it is a contract
