It doesn't seem possible that you mean literally copied from https://chat.fedoraproject.org tohttps://fedoraproject.org/; that's not the way things work. Can you clarify the problem you're concerned about?
chat.fedoraproject.org is the hosted web version of the Element Matrix client. Users can use any other to login. This is completely optional.
fedoraproject.org is the main Matrix server with all user content.
Well, no. I would say 'matrix.fedoraproject.org' is the matrix server run by element on our behaf? Or matrix.fedorapeople.org ?
Can you also clarify "can always be viewed"?
Matrix is similar to Git. When you join any room, all events and content will be copied to your homeserver.
For example #foobar:example.org contains pirated content. When you join it from your fedoraproject.org account, most of its contents will be copied to this server and can be viewed by direct hyperlinks (until the cache is purged).
The links will look like this: https://fedoraproject.org/_matrix/media/r0/download/example.org/kJsInSvRQWlS...
How would this help?
Most public services (GitHub, GitLab, etc.) use separate domains for the user content.
We need to discuss these potential legal issues with at least the Fedora Legal Team.
Yeah, we need to clarify some legal issues around it for sure.
We could call it whatever makes the most sense, but I would expect this to be user content with element handling issues like takedowns, etc.
