libsignal
Home to the Signal Protocol as well as other cryptographic primitives which make Signal possible.
What this is is also another reason not to use Snap.
This is a multi-level failure.
1. Signal-Desktop is AGPLv3: https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Desktop
2. The snap package metadata is AGPLv3: https://github.com/snapcrafters/signal-desktop
So, this looks like a fraudulent DMCA claim by Signal, as the snap package maintainers and Canonicial have an open source license! This shows malice by Signal.
3. No-one from Canonical contacted the package maintainer(s) about the DMCA, so they have no opportunity to counterclaim or defend.
This is an open sign Snap should not be used. Because utterly unjustified DMCA claims will result in the removal of a package without any way to contest.

Yeah, that's the kind of stuff which has made Ubuntu Core rub me the wrong way before this. I'm a much bigger fan of Yocto[1], with something like Rauc[2] for the software upgrade system. It's more work to get going, but in the end, you're in control of your product, not Canonical.

On the bright side, their move to snap finally provided me with the impetus to move to acme.sh (https://github.com/acmesh-official/acme.sh) and it's been a much nicer experience.
Is that so surprising? Signal had always a hostile attitude to alternative clients. They have this weird disconnect of the new CEO saying they want to be available to as many people as possible and be a fully commited FOSS app, and then have no version on F-Droid (while Telegram has!) and actively fight alternative clients (see https://github.com/LibreSignal/LibreSignal/issues/37#issueco...)
Because of this hostility Signal is not a trustworthy organization at all.
certbot won't be missed. The code quality is pretty poor.
https://github.com/certbot/certbot/issues 5000 bugs and it most of it can be replaced by much smaller tools
