Yes. We are all paying the DWD through taxes. The DWD provides its data to private companies for free, including WetterOnline, the company that sued. All the companies do is providing apps and web sites for visualization of the data. I think the main reason for the lawsuit was that the DWD app is really, really good – in my opinion it's the best weather app we have in Germany. This made it very difficult to compete with – it was free, ad-free and good. This kind of bullshit will only get worse, with investor-state dispute settlement agreements int trade deals forbidding governments to take on new responsibilities whenever there is a private company in that space.
