«Komoot’s core tech of Leaflet map, Graphhopper routing engine, and #OpenStreetMap data are all free, open-source projects. This is in addition to all the open-source web servers, databases, and operating systems that tech companies build upon. They leech off the open-source commons»

With the #OpenStreetMap website’s new #VectorTiles, it’s nice to see that we can zoom in to level 23! Unfortunately, if the vector coordinates are not stored with OSM’s 7 decimal places for higher-zoom tiles, then what’s the point of all that zoom? 👀

In addition to them rolling their own 'data license', it seems like their recent license modifications for code could also be viewed as violating the Apache license/the creation of a non-FOSS license too.
