Thank you!
I love the explanation of how software is written, read and whether we can 'see into it' and verify there's no nasty stuff going on.
For that reason of course we do try to recommend FOSS whereever possible. However, we're not totally against proprietary software, so long as the build in privacy-by-design features e.g. E2EE.
We actually want to build sofware ourselves, and are looking into how to build it open source. Any advice welcome!
