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.
This is not an application. It’s a website that shows information. Therefore there is no need to trust the code - the same as 99.9% of all websites and your trusted developer will confirm same for you. If you don’t want to use a website as you don’t trust it because you don’t have the source code, you probably have an interesting Internet experience.
So, again: The code will not be open sourced.
No need to open source the code, but would there be a way to have a backup person in case something happens to you?
There is a backup as we work on it as a team and more than one person has access to it. No need to worry.
Sounds good, thanks!
