Sad, but also funny to see someone revoke an MIT license. Presumably they think that is retroactive as why do it otherwise. Instead of preventing use they just un-invite themselves from any group that wishes to continue it's open source development.

Wow, that's an incredible misunderstanding of copyright. Screw 'em.

Organic Maps rocks. Maybe I'll go donate.

Edit: Read a bit of the discussion and it seems this is 100% Organic Maps, Maps.me is unrelated. I'll hold off until the drama revolves.
