Are they talking about open-sourcing the whole messaging app, or only the MLS library used within it?

It’s not even a matter of open-sourcing the messaging app: Without a viable backend implementation (supporting federation etc.), there is no way to communicate!

Google seems to be stubbornly pushing RCS, but it’s clearly not working at least internationally.
