Going on holiday is why I work. And I use organic maps when I’m on holiday. And donate. Good luck to them.

> And donate

How do you square this with Organic Maps being organised as a for-profit entity?

[cryo32]

Same as when I donate money to Apple.

You donate money to Apple?

[cryo32]

Yes. Wilfully.

It is not common for American for-profit corporations to accept donations. What you are paying is a retail price for Apple products. (Post edited after a check of the legality, but donating to Apple would still be highly unusual, and if the parent admits to doing this, he’s not going to get any less grief.)

> As a USA for-profit corporation, Apple is unable to accept donations

I don't think this is true. You can donate to a for-profit corporation. It just counts as income to them and isn't deductible to you.

So yeah, if you donate money to Apple, Inc., Organic Maps makes sense for you. For everyone else, it seems like a scam.

Calling developers who providing you a great OSS app a scam because you don't like how project run is very rude imo
