This looks really nice service! Couple of questions that I couldn't find answer from the website: 1) who is behind this(e.g. will it be around in few years if I implement some of their APIs now)? And 2) what's the license for using APIs and data? (e.g. is it free for what ever, or do you need commercial license for certain uses)?

>> DB is completely freeware it will stay freeware forever.

Thank You! :) And special Kudos for a nice and clean API and not going with [ horrors such as ] SCAP[1]. Will most certainly give it a go!

Great initiative, thanks. Your aim to keep the db open forever is commendable. I'd like to know how you might address two of the problems that [AIUI, paging @attritionorg] osvdb struggled with:

1. BigCo pillages (resells) your data and/or puts compute (search) pressure on your db.

2. Data entry, triage. Is the plan (for plex) to source data solely from origins with an API?

Good luck, gute Reise :)

do you tolerate scraping?

Didn't really get. What do you mean?
