The client-app (CoMaps/Organic Maps) indeed is fully FLOSS. It uses OSM data, but that data is packaged into a specific and optimized format. The code _generating_ this optimized data (and serving it to the clients) was kept proprietary.
- einpoklum 3mo agoHmm, keeping the server-side code proprietary is rather underhanded. Was the license of the "leaked" code actually proprietary? Anyway, sounds like the "leak" was in the public interest.
- pastk 3mo agoThe code in question was in Apache 2.0 repo and DCO signed agreeing its a public contribution. Please see my post above for details.
