Hi, quick question about the website, which is evolving quite fabulous.
The page is operated and sponsored by a German company Hanseatic Bits UG (haftungsbeschränkt) & 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.
Good answers.
I never spoke about an own competing project. I just wanted to know what your long-term plans are, and obviously there are none. So we just have to use it as is and as long as it’s available. Fine withe me.
Long term: Proceed with improving the database as we do everyday and see where it takes us with minimum overhead to guarantee longevity. So far so good. :)
