That isn't quite a reply. It's a second hand account of Moxie denying that he asked for money. This story seems very troubling. The Wire guys made very specific claims (where did they get the >$2M figure from ... and why would they simply invent such a figure). If their implementation is in Rust then it cannot be the same as OWS' code.
It would be good if OWS could publicly clarify that reimplementing the Signal Protocol/Axoltl does not trigger any copyright claims by OWS even if doing so involved reading the GPLd version.
