MeshCore is opensource
The foundation of MeshCore is developed primarily by a single developer who is incredibly hardworking, dedicated and idealistic about keeping everything he does fully open. The firmware and protocol specification are completely open, allowing anyone to create a client app or perform security audits on the device firmware implementation. Just hop over to the meshcore-dev github repo and have a look. There are also open source command line, python and javascript client libraries, free for anyone to audit and build their application with.
The only native client phone app that currently exists is developed by another dev, and they chose to not make the app open source.
