Cool. But are they still closed-source?

  How out of date are you? Both server and client apps have been on GitHub for half a decade.

    Signal did notoriously not update their repositories for a while when they implemented their cryptocurrency scheme into the app. If you're basing your trust on their open source software, you should also run a client you've compiled yourself (after auditing the code, of course).

      I'm aware that there was at a certain point over a year without server code updates. I'm also aware that Signal went out of their way to discourage forks of the official clients, but I don't know if that was just Moxie or does the new CEO share the same opinion. In any case, I don't think either of those things = Signal not being open source. Not free software? Sure, who gives a shit. But the source is there and long pause doesn't mean much to me. While it was still happening, it certainly raised my eyebrows. Now that we know it was a pause and not a full stop? Doesn't mean a thing to me.
