EDIT: also the path changed and is now ~/MyDocs/.waze/data/preferences.ini

Unlike the official waze, this port is fully open sourced and fill the gap that waze left. i have never tried compiling it to android as i never needed to so atleast for me the answer is: sorry, i havnt tried

Hi Plаmen,

Indeed version 3.0 is not GPL, reason being various limitations posed on GPL and other open source related code by various stores as well as device manufacturers. These limitations carry the risk of being kicked out from these stores or being prohibited from running on these devices.

I am attaching below an example (in this case the Blackberry App World store):

BlackBerry App World Vendor Agreement Update

Dear BlackBerry App World Vendor,

We have published a small revision to the App World Vendor Agreement. Click here for new version. The only changes are in section 10(k), which clarifies that open source components are not prohibited, provided that the inclusion of those components does not compromise the proprietary nature of any RIM proprietary code and information or that of any third party (e.g., RIM or third party proprietary SDK/NDK libraries).

Compliance with permissive open source licenses, such as recent BSD and MIT licenses, should be relatively straightforward. Other common open source licenses, such as the various versions of (L)GPL are more complex. Use of components subject to such licenses may or may not be permitted depending upon a variety of factors including the specific license version, context, and use model.

Best Regards,
BlackBerry App World Team

Waze is continuing to contribute to the open source community (for example we supplied a critical Cassandra performance related bug fix not long ago), but having the client side open source is something that became an issue we needed to address.

Regards

Fej
