Another nitpick: at least OM is made by people who made MapsMe. CoMaps is not - developed by a community, whatever it means.

You can look up who the contributors are, e.g. in their open-source repo: https://codeberg.org/comaps There are also issues and projects with lots of discussions about what to prioritize, etc. So, bashing that “community” is too fuzzy is perhaps not very warranted. (Although I guess they should add a section “Who makes CoMaps?” to the FAQs or so.)

The fact that OM leadership pulled the same open-closed game twice is telling. Many open source contributors who donated their private time and effort to the project just didn't want to do that any more when OM leadership started the game again.

That's the main reason they forked and started a new project.

Also forked for similar governance concerns :))

Interesting, I didn't realize Maps.me used to be open-source! I suppose this is the code (from five years ago): https://github.com/mapsme/omim
