Hi, quick question about the website, which is evolving quite fabulous.

The page is operated and sponsored by a German company Hanseatic Bits UG (haftungsbeschrรคnkt) & Co. KG .

I'm wondering: what the philosophy behind the project is? How is the funding taking place? What will happen to the crowd-sourced data and the joint effort? Don't get me wrong, but putting effort in a closed source database that belongs to a company, which then claims the copyright of said database (German Urheberrecht), is something I would like to discuss upfront.

Great conclusion. And thanks for creating this thread, I tried finding the various discussions around this topic together with Blaze but most important part of it was on our Matrix channel and apparently you can't search (atleast on encrypted chats) messages ...

And buy-european dev has also discussed some of these things on reddit in the past but I don't have a reddit account and couldn't find the post I was looking for sadly. But now we have it on lemmy!
