Supplemental curator note
This repository is an overview rather than the implementation of a Wire client. It points to iOS, Android, Desktop, Web, server, AVS, and Core Crypto repositories. The README also describes additional conditions for builds that connect to Wire servers and excludes Wire trademarks and logos from the code license.
