A proprietary database that you can contribute to but can’t download, that they then dual-license for cash.

Someone, please build an open alternative.

This is the reason I stopped contributing eventually. Can't download the db, API limits so low you can exhaust them with a couple exploratory queries, and a small group of people getting overly defensive when asked about it. I don't mind working for free, but this sucked the fun out of it.

Also can't download afaik. I do like it more since it at least tries to preserve the privacy of those scanned

Pretty much exactly why I stopped contributing.

Even as a contributor the API is unusable due to limits.
