  No idea, but that has nothing to do with anything. Considering that the standard is public and free (unlike ISO stuff bte), that most relevant telecoms support it, and that a lot of phone manufacturers have a custom client that does support it, it’s not remotely close to being closed sourced, and service-authentication-gated like iMessages.

    You are confusing open source with free-as-in-price. Open source is a development philosophy, not a price tag.

      I’m not confusing it, I’m just used to them being paired. Ya know… FOSS… as are others.

        The “Free” in “Free and Open Source Software” is, famously, “free as in speech, not free as in beer.”
