OrganicMaps rolled their own 'data license' for the actual map files: https://github.com/organicmaps/organicmaps/blob/master/DATA_...

Plus the code that's necessary to generate the map files that OM relies on is no longer openly published. So while true that the actual app code is open source, you can't use it without relying on their proprietary map files.

Seems like a big red flag. And another reason to migrate to CoMaps.

Why do you think OM user base forked and mass migrated to CoMaps?? haha
