@Carighan But if one hammer uploads your browsing history to a server for commercial exploitation, then the choice matters. They will reach for a different hammer if they know.
Subscription fee? Is that a new thing? I've only been using OsmAnd from F-Droid, but I've been downloading maps for offline use without any subscription: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/net.osmand.plus/
GDPR applies only to people (even non-EU citizens) who "live" on the territory of EU. EU citizens who leave, don't have the GDPR protection anymore. There was an affair last year when google started notifying people about transferring their account data to non-EU datacenters after it detected them connecting from a foreign IP when they went for a holiday to Thailand for a month. So clearly you have some misunderstandings of GDPR. Also GDPR prevents selling stuff??
I hope you are joking. That's average. So 10m above sea level, but washed away twice per year by the more energetic storms and floods.
@ExtremeDullard You are too kind and thoughtful, they really don't deserve you. A company is just a collection of the people who work there. Maybe the reason why they violated GPL in the first place is because Stu, Phil and Tom didn't care about their work at all. The comments paint a picture of a toxic work environment, and again, that's just the result of the people working there. Good people need to leave bad companies, it's the only way to let the bad die without hurting the good.
@ExtremeDullard just publish everything, they gave it to you under GPL so you can. Sounds like they deserve all the embarrassment they can get.
@Alphane_Moon You are the one saying it's unreliable but also you are not using it. Here is someone using it and saying it is reliable ok. Go figure.
@heyoni I'm commenting from mastodon, I don't even see any upvotes. Someone just started downvoting me because they ran out of arguments 🤷♂️
@CrayonRosary having a pull request merged is in no way a proof of ownership of the repo, or a sign that the owner wants to participate in this scheme. There are better ways to prove ownership. It's relatively easy to slip in some file unnoticed, or falsely explain during the PR process what the file represents. So choosing this way of validation is a huge red flag about the whole scheme. It motivates people to falsely claim ownership of popular repos.

@django I see a force-push 22 minutes ago, do you see a "removed it" commit in the history?
