Why Bitcoin Free Open Source Software Matters
As for other licenses, you must check them individually. "Open source" has lots of meanings and sub-branches, so you must pay attention to the fine details. Jitsi, for instance, allows you to do anything with their code – including commercial use: https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi/blob/master/LICENSE
What if it's a software only project that you are creating out of an open source project? For example if I use the code for Jitsi to make my own telephone app with a twist, will I be unable to sell the app?

Low-latency audio streaming (local network)
I've been using Janus gateway for similar. Pretty easy to setup.

Live video calling - the Dyte way
A number of open-source projects also exist, which give developers a great head start if they're looking to build their own infrastructure - the most popular of these include Jitsi, Mediasoup, Janus, and Pion. These projects provide a layer of abstraction and expose a number of helper functions to perform various tasks, such as creating transports, etc. They have helpful guides on how to get started, but you would still face the aforementioned issues regarding scaling, resources, etc.

Casey Muratori: refterm and the philosophy of non-pessimization (how you can make programs run 100x faster without optimizations)
This all changes when you are actually a domain expert: You can treat the various components as a "white box" because you see the forest for the trees and can make cross-cutting assumptions which will inherently make the code faster. I've noticed a lot of projects written by domain experts are often these giant clusterfucks of C that violate pretty much every guideline there are so many Medium blogs about, and yet they're very stable and widely used. See: https://github.com/meetecho/janus-gateway for example.

Stop using Zoom, Hamburg’s data protection agency warns state government
Yes, there are many self-hosted options out there. https://github.com/meetecho/janus-gateway works well for multi-party video with up to about 15 users in a room assuming everyone has a reasonably reliable connection.
