Brian Acton, the creator of WhatsApp, co-founded Signal and loaned them a shit ton of money. "$105,000,400, due to be repaid on February 28, 2068. The loan is unsecured and carries nil interest." He's still Executive Chairman.

i mean, it is a loan. still, cool of them to do. no fucking clue how theyll ever pay it off

Its unsecured with nil interest. I doubt they're expected to pay it off.
