Their webpage claims both:
> Molly, like Signal, uses Google’s proprietary code to support some features
And
>Fully FOSS
>Contains no proprietary blobs, unlike Signal.
It's also not clear if it can be used as a drop-in replacement to contact people using Signal
- malermeister 5y agoThey have two versions! Molly, like Signal, uses Google’s proprietary code to support some features. Molly-FOSS is the community effort to make it 100% free and open-source.
- alephxyz 5y agoThat explains my confusion. Thank you
- crtasm 5y ago> if it can be used as a drop-in replacement I had to click through to their github to find: "Molly connects to the Signal server, so you can chat with your Signal contacts seamlessly. Molly and Signal apps can be installed on the same device. If you need a 2nd number to chat, you can use Molly along with Signal. However, you cannot use the same phone number on both apps at the same time."
