He's very much opposed to other projects using either the name Signal or the servers they provide.
LibreSignal abandoned their project because of his comment. No legal action was taken and I think this is why libsignal-client is still running. Open Whisper Systems never bothered to sue them, probably because it's only a fringe phenomenon right now.
His opinion is clear though and it leaves it open to legal action in the future.
I agree it is his perogative but I wish there was an actual open network. I don't like moving from one vendor-lock-in (whatsapp) to another (signal). I want something where I can do with my conversations what I want, like Matrix. For this reason I don't advocate Signal to my friends as an alternative for Whatsapp.
