Samsung has released a new video in support of Google’s #GetTheMessage campaign which calls for Apple to adopt RCS or “Rich Communication Services,” the cross-platform protocol pitched as a successor to SMS that adopts many of the features found in modern messaging apps… like Apple’s own iMessage.
Any open source Android RCS SMS apps then?

Probably. Have a look on FDroid.
Believe it or not you might need to pay for something that you like and use. Wierd fuckin notion I know.
Until free speech covers equal rights to emoji msg replies (etc), I really don’t see any way to force companies to make the playing field level for people who aren’t their customers.
You are confusing open source with free-as-in-price. Open source is a development philosophy, not a price tag.
