“Profit off the free contributions to inflate shareholder value” is about the gist of it from what was summarized. Might hold off checking this out if that’s the case.

    For clarification, Organic Maps was the project that has been accused of mismanagement. A significant portion of that community departed to create this app, CoMaps. The goal from the outset was to create a more transparent and open community, hence the name, community maps or CoMaps.

    CoMaps is a fairly recent fork of what was already an excellent app, but likely with poor management ethics behind it. I've been extremely impressed by the rapid pace of development on a pretty sizable project. There are already hundreds of small (and a few not so small) improvements over the project it was forked from.
