Really appreciate the detailed answer. I'm not a power user of Organic Maps (mostly using Magic Earth for driving), but I have it installed for over a year now and was not aware of whats going on with it.

As Im a huge fan of FOSS I will definitely give it a try.

Glad I could answer!

Yeah I had no idea either how bad it was until another user on lemmy pointed out the company that has been set up by the owners, and then one day @Sunshine@lemmy.ca posted the open letter in !organicmaps@sopuli.xyz.

And other good news: the community fork developers (who also were trusted and long established contributors of OM) allowed us to make the lemmy community !CoMaps@sopuli.xyz an official community! They participate in that community too!
