To the extent that the service is centralized, I don't really care if
their code is available (it's not like I'd run my own server and start
asking friends to use that one instead, and it's not like I can verify
that the code they publish is indeed the code they run).
I mean, I do welcome their releasing their code under a Free license,
but that doesn't affect very much my overall assessment of the service,
other than a gesture of good faith,

No doubt that Signal is a big step up from WhatsApp.
I just find Matrix to be yet another big step up ;-)
