#fork

Organic Maps, a FOSS navigation app, faced community backlash over allegations of adding ads and proprietary components, leading to a fork called CoMaps. This controversy highlights governance challenges in open-source projects and demonstrates how forking can preserve community trust and FOSS principles. CoMaps was forked about a year ago and is adding features like CarPlay Dashboard support, while Organic Maps is accused of misappropriating donations and turning code proprietary.
