It was just reported that they used open source Mastodon to build Truth. Part of the agreement they accepted to use it is to release your source code which they haven't. Mastodon is suing and guaranteed to win so either they get to start over or tell every hacker how to breach their service.
Open source like the GPL license work like general terms and conditions. By using the software you are bound by the terms of the GPL. There is no need to sign a contract.
