    The AGPLv3 only requires that you make the source available, that can even be on request. But that's not what's going on here. The code used to build their snap [is available](https://github.com/snapcrafters/signal-desktop/blob/master/s...), and they just tear apart the official .deb to repackage, meaning you can offer the source just by pointing people upstream, that's valid and often done.

  • Is Signal snap safe? Because is not from the official developer

    Would it be possible to update the Signal branding and license? They changed a while ago but Snap Store kept the old ones.
