I find it super frustrating to see well funded tech companies boldly abuse open data resources and assume they can just get away with it. I guess that's the theme of 2024.
But to make it clear: you are in violation of the license the data is provided under, and as one of the copyright holders I object to that.
I took extra care to provide all the needed attributions and credits and I believe it is complete and sufficient. If I missed something, please describe it at https://github.com/ClickHouse/adsb.exposed/issues, and I will correct it.
please read the license and its requirements.
It is YOUR responsibility to comply with those requirements in order to be allowed to use the data.
It is ridiculous that a well funded company asks a volunteer community to tell them how to comply with the license - after they have violated the license and used it for a marketing stunt.

Could you please clarify the details?

Licenses get abused for one of two reasons, more or less: 1) the license is unenforceable; 2) no one enforces the license.
In some cases, this is only one reason.
