There's two opposing perspectives to consider here:
1. We don't know the details of the internal politics between the approved maintainers of this private repo, but, licenses aside if someone decided to make a private repo I created public without consulting me I would be pissed. I would consider that at best rude & at worst misconduct.
2. It seems evident that the original creator of this repo was extracting labour from other volunteers(?) under the facade of it being an open source project. Attempting to undo that retroactively is drifting toward fraud & at best heavily outweighs the severity of anything in (1) above.
Really hope OrganicMaps survives this, absolutely beautiful, invaluable app.
