But he's not happy with recompilation of Signal? https://fdroid.eutopia.cz/

> Any other distribution channel we be treated as malware

He isn't fine with anyone distributing unsigned or resigned Signal. What he says is more or less "my app, my signature".

The fdroid people could recompile, check that the binary matches the one Moxie signed, and distribute the one with Moxie's signature.
