    The Signal Foundation is a non-profit. The non-profit owns an LLC under the same name which publishes and develops the apps.

    The software itself is open source, and licensed under AGPLv3, the same permissive license as lemmy and mastodon.

    Calling them a private company with no motivation to disclose any failures in their security is pretty clearly untrue in whole.
