As far as Silent Phone goes, their app isn't open source, so it can't be trusted. That's really as far as the discussion goes.
- JshWright 10y agoThat depends on what you mean by 'open source'. It's not released under a permissive license (and the version on GitHub is a little behind), but the source is available. https://github.com/SilentCircle/silent-phone-android https://github.com/SilentCircle/silent-phone-android
- MayeulC 10y agoThe only thing I _really_ dislike about Signal is their CLA. If it included "... under a FSF-approved license" or something similar that would enforce a contaminative license instead of an OSI-approved license. That's the only thing that prevented me from contributing so far, I wonder if I am the only one.
