Hello, Free Software Community. Today, I got a surprising news from
Threema saying "Threema is now open source" [sic][1][2]. They say
further "[...] Threema apps’ source code is publicly accessible starting
today. It is subject to the AGPLv3 license [...]". I am happy with this.
As far as I know, Threema is praised and recommended as secure messenger
(although is/was a proprietary software) 2nd place between the free
software Signal and Wire by a security review site[3]. But I want to
know what is your opinion and what is FSF's stance on this news. Thank
you very much.
With respects,
Ade
