I feel like for internal government communications you might not want it to be open source.
Doesnt mean everyone else should want to use it.

Looks like it is: github.com/olvid-io/olvid-android/blob/…/LICENSE

Yup I did see they were on GitHub but when I looked the iOS repository is months (and several releases) out of date.
I’d expect an open source project to be working in public…not in private and updating their public repositories later down the line

It’s not him, it’s the public you dingus. Yes, the world actually does revolve around society and rightfully so.

Signal isn’t much better in this regard. They certainly don’t work directly in the public repos - they have internal repos that they work from and they push updates from them to the public repos after the fact.
I’m not sure about the current state but when I looked into it a couple years ago, their client side repos were around a year behind. I recall reading some issues stating that the client was so far behind that the server was refusing to communicate with builds of it.

Signal’s official policy is that third party clients aren’t permitted, and lacks reproducible builds for their android client. Even if the open source code was up to date, using it without patching it to use a custom server would be a TOS violation.
