  • I cannot find any resources other than: OsmAnd is GPLv2, the API is MIT. I cannot find anything about the plugins, but that would only mean that the plugins are a mix of open and closed source, though the app itself is still open source.

    standing to their documentation they have an exception to the GPLv2 for the Google Play app to be able (my guess here) to better process payments and such.

    So to my admittedly poor understanding:

    OsmAnd -> open source
    OsmAnd on Google Play -> closed source but compiled from the FOSS code
    Plugins -> YMMV depending on the plugin

    Yet because OsmAnd and it’s API itself are FOSS I would argue that this is still the right community for the OP question. :)




  • True but since then Israel has done nigh to nothing to stop the creation of kibbutz in Palestine, and the occupation of land both in Gaza and in the West Bank, and Hamas has grown to pretty much erase any other political faction in Palestine. The PLO shrunk out of any international relevance since the death of Arafat and Israel is actually governed by the far-right. Alas! Everything went very wrong since the 90s.

    Now, I am in no way expert in the subtleties of the political situation in Israel and Palestine, but it seems that the peace process in that region will always be doomed to fail.







  • To be honest, the minimum you really need for a colourful website is just HTML and a dash of inline CSS, especially if you want to recreate that nostalgic early internet type of feeling. JavaScript is very much optional.

    In my opinion you should start easy, understand how it all clicks together, especially HTML and then start building, and eventually rebuilding, on top of it after you have grasped the basics. Most people gets scared by HTML, CSS and JavaScript because they are usually presented together as if you couldn’t use one without the others, but you most certainly can.

    Just my 2 cents.
