Flutterby™! : Overture mapping

Twitter thread on Open Street Map.org about the Overture initiative from the Linux Foundation, with Meta, Microsoft, AWS, and TomTom, and why the OSM folks are skeptical about it.

A lot of folks are worried about Google owning the mapping world and all the good GIS data, it'll be interesting to see if there's enough cooperation and collaboration to keep OSM as a meaningful alternative, or if this is a circular firing squad that's gonna have a lot of collateral damage.
