Wrong. Publishing the server sources allow people to create a parallel and independent service.
- tptacek 5y agoWhat's stopping you? What does that have to do with having a bit-for-bit identical version to what Signal is running?
- hoophoop 5y ago...the simple fact that there's no guarantee that either the server or the client would receive updates. That means hard-forking the old server and client and maintain them as an independent project forever. That's what's stopping me and many other people from creating a community and federated version.
- tptacek 5y agoAny independent server is of necessity going to be an independent project forever, so I'm not sure what your difficulty is here.
