 Thanks for the response 🤙

To clarify, do you mean Jam is the first and longest running open source audio chat? 
 Jam is an open source audio chat like Clubhouse. It does not natively support nostr or lightning. https://jam.systems/

The original Nostr Nests (1.0) forked Jam and never released the code changes in violation of the AGPL. As such it was a closed source project. The current Nostr Nests 2.0 however is open source thanks in large part by efforts of Companion to coordinate that amongst the people who were writing the initial code for it.

Corny Chat came into existence as a whole separate fork of Jam, starting efforts over when attempts to get Nostr Nests  to release the code for 1.0 failed. It's source code has always been open source and available consistent with the AGPL.

Other prior efforts include vida dot live, which supported login and payments but was also closed source and now appears defunct. 
 I remember that the code was here then when they made the change to kieran it deleted, or closed https://git.semisol.dev/nostrnests/nests
I found also the stacker news https://stacker.news/items/200330 
 Yes i remember that too and it was..
1) not the original code
2) that was the start of nostr nests 2
3) and even then was not an open source license
