  • Well, I might have read the license wrong. If I read again now, I understand it is partially open, quote from their website:

    There are 2 important things: OsmAnd uses third-party code only with permissive licenses like (LGPL, MIT, Apache) and OsmAnd code itself copyrighted by OsmAnd BV is distributed under GPLv2 license with the exception of distributing it on Google Play markets without permission. That provides a possibility to build any application for personal usage or build an opensource application under GPLv2 license (cause OsmAnd is not a platform and all the code built on top of the core must also be licensed as GPL).














  • Hmm … are you talking about the original Signal app or the Molly app? Because I don’t really understand your news here.

    For me, as far as I am aware, Signal has always been synchronising the chat history. The only condition being, that you have connected your device before in the past, which I think is a good privacy feature. (Although, I haven’t checked, how far back it goes. Never needed that.) - You don’t want any random new device read all our history, or do you?
