    I have two issues with Mazda here:

    using a Mazda developed API

    You cannot copyright an API. They took down a foss project by using false copyright pretenses.

    If you think all that infrastructure should be included free

    That one I actually agree with, almost. Demanding infrastructure for free is unreasonable. It’s just that the feature is artificially locked to said infrastructure. It didn’t need it in the past.
