Twitter releases TextSecure

Whisper Systems, just acquired by Twitter, has announced that it has released TextSecure - an encrypted messaging client for Android - under GPLv3; the source is available on Github. "We've always been interested in the ability for individuals and organizations to communicate freely and securely. In the year and a half since Whisper Systems launched TextSecure, we've received an enormous amount of thanks, feedback, and encouraging stories from users who have employed TextSecure towards those ends. We hope that as an open source project, TextSecure will be able to reach even more people, with an even larger number of contributors working to make it a great product."
