Does it matter? It's a SaaS anyways, so if they wanted to go rogue and use it to eavesdrop on your chats open source wouldn't really prevent that. They even specifically recommend using a dedicated group chat for notification purposes. For self-hosted deployments there's already a multitude of projects that expose an API to send signal messages.

Yes - if it were open-source, you could self host it.

Here ya go. I use this for various notifications for my home network, versus using email. https://github.com/bbernhard/signal-cli-rest-api
