That's not true.

It's possible to have an Open Source social server that's a /de facto/ 
standard even though there's not a lot of other implementations of the 
protocol.

jabberd in the early years of XMPP would be a good example.

I think interop is great and all that, but I think it's actually a 
slower and more difficult route to federation than widespread adoption 
of a de facto standard Open Source implementation.

The more permissive the license, and the more participatory the project, 
the better.
