Well, no. You could have a situation where there's a policy in place forbidding installing GPL-licensed products. (I don't have any info about it, but I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case at Microsoft a while ago.) EDIT: I'm getting downvotes and don't understand why. I'm seriously interested, can someone explain the reason?

You might have situation with policies forbidding anything. Like, MS Windows. Or Macs. Or smartphones. Rarely, yes, but I'm surprised GPL looks that unique regarding this matter.

Here is moxie's reply in that matter https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10665520
Nor is it actually reasonable that we should expect to or rely on a few people to secure something that should be a fundamental and a fundamental right of communication. Not to rant to much, but it feels like going to parties (conferences) and talking about how much good you do and then being dismissive in the real world is how much of the security industry operates and that Signal has just become the latest excuse to why nothing has to be fixed.
I'll give him credit for the whatsapp integration though. More people in the field should consider working with companies where they can have a lot of impact.

The only thing Moxie had to do was not threaten them with legal action.

Huh? I'm connecting over HTTPS right now. Have you tried it?
www.popsci.com uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate expired on 12/10/2015 05:59 PM. The current time is 05/11/2016 01:39 AM. Error code: SEC_ERROR_EXPIRED_CERTIFICATE
