I try and avoid any news about that person so I don't know much about Truth other than it exists, how is it violating any license?
Presumably because they are using modified AGPL licensed code without releasing their modifications.
Right after read an article on WAPO about Truth Social likely violating Mastodon's license, I hop on HN and find this as the first post.

Mastodon has a "profile move" feature that moves all of your followers (on instances that support the protocol) to your new account. However, it will not move your toots (posts). All of your account data can be exported, and everything except for toots (and media) can be imported. https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/moving/
Post is called a toot? Tf

I guess this isn't reflected in joinmastodon.org yet. Each instance can also choose to call posts whatever they want:

I really wanted to like it, but it's just so difficult to actually find people and content, considering you can only search for hashtags and all...
In any case, I have running and managing a instance of Mastodon (and Matrix, and XMPP) as a side-project for some time. Some of my users asked about having a twitter bridge, where they could at least follow who they are used to from one single client. Would that help you?

What makes you think he is building Truth?
Found that odd too. Jumping to conclusions, and moralizing based on that. Not sure what the purpose was. It lead to other users digging into the other commenter, which is somewhat creepy.
Background: I've been building a growing commercial social network. There are things about what I want to do that made that the better option for what my target market is. With that said, I really like what Mastodon has done and as far as federated and open social networks go (ActivityPub!). It's in a class of its own IMO.
Please tell me you're not building Truth. If you are, you should stop right now and consider the effects that your actions will have. No amount of money is worth your soul.

Last update was 7 months ago, either gab didn't do any chance if this timeframe or they are also violating the license.
If they did update their production code since their last source code release, then you're right, it would be a license violation. I don't know if this is the case. Either way, it is much better to make occasional source code releases than to not release any code at all, when the code is under a copyleft license.
There is a lot of talk about Truth Social violating the AGPL license.
If it it a work in progress and not yet public, do they need to share their source code, or do they need to share it once they launch?
I've been trying to set this up for years and it continues to defeat me. Even the Docker method is still fraught. I hope they can dumb it down at some point, or clean up the docker setup. There's a LOT of different frameworks & tooling at play in this ecosystem to debug when things go wrong. But I guess it is close to rocket science.
