Do you use Signal for chatting securely with friends and loved ones? Us too! We endorse it wholeheartedly, and rely on it for nearly all our communication.

But the vibes are deteriorating here in the US, and we should have a communications contingency plan for if Signal goes down.

Well, there's no license because there is no code on their Github. They claim their P2P framework is open source. Yet, that is just the part that allows clients to connect. But I also need to check that what is transferred through that connection is truly encrypted. And if there's no code, there's no basis to even develop trust.

'Open source' misses the point of libre software.
