(For linking "Reporting Infringement to Microsoft"). I do wonder if simply forking and charging money for existing open-source software is an egregious slap in the face to OSM (JOSM developers, especially), although I'm not an attorney. So, I'd urge our LWG / legal-beagles to take a look at this, please.<br>

On the other hand, if there is something "value-added" to the fork that justifies charging money, maybe it's OK.<br>
