I think this is a shame. I am on signal and not on whatsapp. But I know
the vast majority won't shift just because of a small minority. And that
is their choice. If they interoperate then there won't be so much
pressure on people to join or stay on whatsapp. As whatsapp users
already have my telephone number in their contacts, and whatsapp has
access to that, it wouldn't matter much. Or they could use an arbitrary
identifier.

Whatsapp uses the Signal protocol. How did they make open source into
closed source? "The Signal Protocol is licensed under the GNU Affero
General Public License (AGPLv3). This license requires that the complete
source code of the licensed work and any modifications be made available
under the same license."
