The server software appears to be available and updated now, which they’ve been spotty about in the past. I’ve updated to remove the closed-source part since that is not correct.
As for phone number: Signal still requires me to enter a phone number to create an account as of about 5 minutes ago.
Which part of signal is closed source? It no longer requires a phone number, you can use a username
I don’t think the server software is open source.
