I'd love to see a free & open network of shared ADS-B data, but the hobby seems to be stuck in a proprietary mode. For example, Planeplotter[1] runs its own proprietary network for customers only, which includes enhancements like multilateration-based localization of aircraft that are only using Mode C transponders, without GPS coordinates.
All the aircraft information databases that tie the ICAO hex codes sent in ADS-B data are proprietary, and there's often dumb drama over incompatible versions or updates.
