    The preceding open letter to Organic Maps shareholders gives some context for the decision to fork.

    The Organic Maps project has been built and promoted under the premise of being an open community project, so it’s troubling to discover that the majority of shareholders consider it to be their sole property. More concerns include lack of transparency and accountability in project governance and violation of stated Free and Open Source Software values. (see Addendum for the details)[…]

    Interesting and troubling read, didn’t know that about Organic Maps.

      I’m not sure what’s happening, I tried to read through everything (even signed the petition) but the original project has also moved to forgejo… Always when It gets licence related it seems they are all talking something I can’t make any sense out of it… It’s really frustrating !!

      But yeah that’s a good point and hope more projects will follow (piHole, navidrome, jellyfin, […]) to get out of Soft’s GitHub claws !!
