Right, but trying to overly monetize the map service(s) actively hurts the GIS database as well - it means there’s less adoption, less eyes on it, less contributors, and worse dataset.
And that’s not to say that nobody should make money by providing map services - it can be healthy, too - but being docks about it doesn’t help anyone.
A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
