Samsung joins Google in RCS shaming Apple
(www.theverge.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Okay but their implementation is what they are touting. The standard RCS protocol is only marginally better than sms. Google constantly uses encryption in their ad campaigns for RCS, which is exclusive to to googles implementation. There is no way anyone is going to get Apple to work on an implementation that interoperates with Google

You are confusing open source with free-as-in-price. Open source is a development philosophy, not a price tag.
The "Free" in "Free and Open Source Software" is, famously, "free as in speech, not free as in beer."
