CoMaps on "Is it really FOSS?" (europe.pub)

Is It Really FOSS? is a website that reviews software that claims to be free & open source. This effort has unfortunately become necessary as projects increasingly start to "do the talk of open source", without actually "doing the walk" – effectively misrepresenting themselves as FOSS when they aren't.

Which is why we're extra happy that our offline map & navigation app has now been added to the website, listing us as a green "Yes, it's open source" ✅

Wish they'd address the Primal app. I've long suspected it's not as open source as it says because, with however many thousands of users, nobody seems to self-host a single copy of a single part of it. (I hate Primal)
