I mean, if you spent _millions_ developing a weather app, you're just bad at business and doomed to fail regardless of whether there is a government funded competitor or not.

Yeah; it seems like someone should make an open source competitor just to spite these clowns.
Arguably, the German weather service should be forced to open source their ad-supported app to “encourage competition”.

Indeed. Although I always think that any software produced by the government should be Free Software. It's stupid for taxpayer funded software to not be open and extensible by citizens.
