Hi, quick question about the website, which is evolving quite fabulous.
The page is operated and sponsored by a German company Hanseatic Bits UG (haftungsbeschränkt)
.
I’m wondering: what the philosophy behind the project is? How is the funding taking place? What will happen to the crowd-sourced data and the joint effort? Don’t get me wrong, but putting effort in a closed source database that belongs to a company, which then claims the copyright of said database (German Urheberrecht), is something I would like to discuss upfront.

- https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/39083458?scrollToComments=true
- https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/39044801?scrollToComments=true

I stumbled upon this paragraph reading their Terms and Conditions, so seems relevant to mention
- Affiliated Entities
While Go European’s volunteers met through the Reddit community r/BuyFromEU, the two operate as separate and independent entities. Go European has no control over and accepts no responsibility for content posted on the r/BuyFromEU subreddit, and all such content remains the sole property of the users who posted it.
Ah. My bad. They are referring to r/BuyFromEU . Mistaken the network for lemmy, where we have two entities. None of them seems to be affiliated, feddit.org’s is for sure not.
