ADS-B Exchange, a community project, was just sold out from underneath the community by its BDFL: https://www.jetnet.com/news/jetnet-acquires-ads-b-exchange.htmlA painful lesson in the importance of formal open source project governance and charitable nonprofit stewardship. I'll be disconnecting my feeder till a new community project arises.#OpenSource #FLOSS #Governance #AVGeek #ADSBExchange

@dirkhh @josh @downey It seems like Flightaware does 'some' of this, its still a single entity that could be bought out though.https://flightaware.com/about/code/

@drwho Honestly wouldn't be surprised. We all know at least one gross hoarder of wealth who'd gladly throw money around to hide his movements...
