@bconway We are not making legal threats and this is not “personal” against ChirpStack. Not everything on GitHub can be used without permission. Also, one cannot use someone else’s trademark without permission. Open source software and its licenses is a different game than (open) data.
There is and was no open data license on the concerning repository. We spend a lot of time and resources on the content of that database. In this instance, GitHub is a great channel to receive contributions from the device maker community and to contribute ourselves, verify, review and validate. But a GitHub repository doesn’t provide a license to reuse and extract it in its entirety. Sure, if you want to copy paste a payload codec that you are missing from the Device Repository, that is fine.
