Real shame that OLC is changing these requirements. I do not see the
benefit. Time to ask for a change

Time to ask for an OLC successor. The OLC has denied access to its
databases for scientific projects in the past, effectively hindering
scientific progress. And the OLC has tried to shut down free speech:
Reiner Rose (the CEO and owner of the company that runs the OLC) has
threatened to remove XCSoar from the list of approved software after I
criticized the OLC (I happen to be a XCSoar developer). Critical
pilot comments are being deleted from the web site.

Eventually, the XCSoar project and its volunteers will build a public
and truly free web site for live tracking and flight upload, fully
integrated into our software. There will be no limit on the number of
IGC files one may download.
