Opensky seems to be the only non profit network left?

It's the only one that was always a non-profit by the way - the fact that ADSBX was an LLC should have been a giveaway, also to the employees/volunteers.

This would be a great use for nostr.

Instead of everybody uploading their data to one dude who can sell out, instead flood-fill it. We're not talking about a lot of data here.

It is actually a massive amount of data. Gigabits per second that need to be aggregated, sorted by geographic region, fed into multilateration systems, and cleaning the output before it can be shown on a map.
