Hello, I'm trying to understand if maps.me is open source or not, as on the web there are different contrasting informations.
Here is stated that it is, but here is stated the exact opposite

That's a tricky question and I feel like the answer is very personal. Simplifying it too much:

Organic Maps: basic, simple, easy to set up and understand.

OsmAnd: heavy, complicated and with looots of information.

I personally find that Organic Maps works for 90% of my needs: it's easy to use and navigate through. The remaining 10% I need more advanced functions not present in Organic Maps and OsmAnd comes to the rescue.
