I don&#x27;t understand how Guardian were unable to obtain a license to use Signal&#x2F;Axolotl in Chatsecure. The libraries on Github are GPL3, is there some missing IP I&#x27;m not aware of?<p>Also it saddens me that LibreSignal is effectively dead now, along with any future third-party clients. I think forking the Signal server and (later) adding federation could spark a community of free and secure messenger apps for the 21st century.<p>Even if that means starting with an empty user base. After all, most of my contacts with Signal only ever use it to contact me, it wouldn&#x27;t be difficult to convince them to change app.
