I remember that comaps was forked from organic maps due to some drama around organic maps, but I am out of the loop on what exactly happened. Can someone get me up to date?

CoMaps emerged because of a lack of transparency in Organic Maps amid concerns that the project funds were being misused. There was increasing worry that Organic Maps shareholders intended to sell or monetize the project like Maps.ME, which it originally split from.

CoMaps was created embracing FOSS principles, transparency, and community driven governance.
