Thank you for sharing this information .
If there are more examples of GIS vendors , please share so the wider GIS user community can learn from this. It is important that consumers are not tricked by any clever marketing strategies by any vendors and consumer rights are fully protected.

Is there any examples in GIS Vendors? Yes there is a good example for this. I think this could actually be THE textbook example of open washing in GIS: https://www.esri.com/en-us/arcgis/open-vision/overview just my 2 cents ;) Christian Am 02.11.18 um 11:01 schrieb Suchith Anand: I came across this term OpenWashing at http://openwashing.org Openwashing: to spin a product or company as open, although it is not. Derived from 'greenwashing.' Openwashing: n., having an appearance of open-source and open-licensing for marketing purposes, while continuing proprietary practices. I am trying to understand the impact of this in GIS. Is there any examples of GIS Vendors using this OpenWashing?
