I don't think that Signal which is refusing forks or third party clients is any better aligned with the FOSS spirit..

https://github.com/LibreSignal/LibreSignal/issues/37#issueco...

"You're free to use our source code for whatever you would like but you cannot use our servers" and they also refuse alternative servers or federation.

So basically you cannot create any fork or alternative client or make any change without their agreement.

They are very "Apple-like" in a way, "we known what's good for you, so just agree with us and don't try to go outside of what we want".

They also refuse to be on F-Droid for plainly false arguments. F-Droid offers double security : author signature + reproducible builds yet they keep pretending that you cannot sign apks on F-Droid and force you to download a non-externally verified apk on their website

Signal in itself is great but the people behind are not reassuring at all I think.
