@opensourceopenmind @manankanchu Binary data is free; it contains data from many sources with different licenses that require a proper attribution (OSM, Wikipedia, etc.). It is not something that OM invented. Calling it non-free is a plain lie to F-Droid users. Please check it yourself: https://github.com/organicmaps/organicmaps/blob/master/DATA_LICENSE.txt

@organicmaps Any white-labeling or rebranding use requires explicit written permission from the Organic Maps team this is not a free license. you may feel it's a reasonable and justified clause, and i wont argue against that, however it is factually incorrect to call it free in the sense of user freedom @opensourceopenmind @manankanchu

@organicmaps It seems to me the problem isn't that it's not free file, just that the network service is not replaceable. Maybe just adding a setting for the map file server would help? @opensourceopenmind @manankanchu
