Can anyone point to the source code please? They claim it is "privacy friendly", so it cannot be proprietary, right? right? right?

Your comment got me curious so I had a look.

From their FAQ:

Will Magic Earth be Open Source?

No; since it is also used commercially (we have a paid Magic Earth SDK for business partners), we cannot make the code public.
