You are right about that. There used to be an open source build called LibreSignal

Moxie Marlinspike made clear [1]: You may inspect the code. You are even allowed to compile it. You are not allowed to connect your self compiled client to our message servers. We are not interested in a federated protocol. Make sure your fork creates its own bubble that does not overlap with Open Wisper Systems. Stop using the name Signal.
