You are talking about Pubky.app in the sense of Primal.net. Which is not what he is talking about.

You can right now develop whatever you want on top of the underlying tech over there. You could make your own Pubky.app. Or weave PKARR into your stack like Iroh does. Or do something with PKDNS. Whatever you like. Ask nobody. Just do it. It's all open source.

Whose permission do you need and to do what, besides needing something akin to Primal's permission to use a beta app from Primal? So far nobody in the "Pubky is permissioned" camp has been able to spell this out.
