> Despite being advertised as a community-driven project, key decisions, including financial management, partnerships (with Kayak, for instance), and the inclusion of proprietary components in the code were made by a small group of shareholders, often without input from the broader contributor community.

CoMaps had been started because Organic Maps shareholders were not interested fixing those governance and transparency issues.
