Will there be a free, open source system for resolving a geohash phrase into a location? The #1 problem with What3Words is its proprietary rent-seeking business

  The answer is yes, with the unfortunate qualifier that, for at least what we've put together, it won't be soon. The startup has been on pause for most of the last two years due to lack of traction. I don't have the time, money, or energy to devote to moving our current work, which is very rough and very much half-baked, into a useful state for motivated folks. That said, if someone else were to pick the idea up and move it forward on their own in the OSS space, then we'd (very likely) support that.
