A little bit offtopic, but not really. I understand you're not representative for Waze, but just compiling/porting it for us, maemo users, so big thanks again. Do you know what's the deal with the v3 change. Apparently, they don't publish the source code anymore, and they have stated that the license of version 3 is not more GPL. They are closing the source? It becomes proprietary ? If this is true...I will not have reason to contribute anymore to this app on my N900. Do you have more information about wtf they are doing and is this the future of waze (free as in beer, not as in freedom proprietary app)?
The point of waze is that it was based of opensource project by some Israeli guy and they couldn't change the license, they probably re-write it and changed it. I think they want some profit and even if not selling app, they want to be in full control of that. And i think it's major problem for dev to switch to v3 API, but you what do you mean but "I will not have reason to contribute anymore to this app on my N900." ?
