    Same thing happened in Germany where the DWD collects and publishes weather data. Wetter.de came along and sued them, forcing them to hide features in their app (developed and paid for by tax money) behind a paywall. That was later overturned, but I still refuse to use their site

      Yes! Exact same here. Its so dumb it sounds made up. A random company comes along and just gets to sell what was once free.
