MODERATORS
At least in terms of addresses, I feel like Magic Earth is significantly better than Organic Maps.
Agreed. Not FOSS though :(
Decent privacy policy.
Yes, but as you say, they have a good privacy policy. Also their revenue model backs up their privacy policy, and I find their reasoning as to why they aren't FOSS fair:
(from the FAQ)
That's just saying "we want to sell access to our code, so we can't make it open source". Basically the definition of proprietary software, no?
Yes? Nobody was claiming they weren't proprietary.
My point was that it's not so much "fair reasoning" as just a statement of that fact.
Yes, but people were claiming they had a good reason not to be FOSS. They could have easily just not mentioned it at all but instead they name a reason that isn't an issue for many others.
