Forgive me if obvious—where are you pulling the underlying data from? Is the data itself OS licensed?

OpenStreetMaps probably. Mapbox uses data from OSM among others when they create their tiles. https://docs.mapbox.com/help/getting-started/mapbox-data/#co...
OpenStreetMap* (no s at the end).

#13If it is true that Apple will soon drop OpenGL and only support Metal:
Will the SDK also work on iOS and Mac then, i.e. has Metal support?

#14I'm one of the folks behind the fork (and part of the initial steering committee). Happy to answer any questions!
What would it take to display a map in a style as close as possible to the one used on openstreetmap.org ?

Where the SDK pulls its data from is not hardcoded.
The SDK is just a library, used to render vector map tiles, usually in the MVT-format: https://docs.mapbox.com/vector-tiles/specification/
Most maps rendered with such an SDK are based on OpenStreetMap data.

There is active development on a Metal-supporting version, yes!
https://github.com/maplibre/maplibre-gl-native/tree/metal-su... is the branch and https://github.com/maplibre/maplibre-gl-native/issues?q=is%3... are associated issues.

Does it support rendering of rasters? What about support on Desktop platforms?
Yes, you can render raster layers (tile sources).

Yes, we have a beta build of the SDK with Metal support (https://github.com/maplibre/maplibre-gl-native/tree/metal-su..., https://github.com/maplibre/maplibre-gl-native/releases/tag/...). There are some minor issues we are addressing in the new release. Contributors and brave souls willing to try out the build are more than welcome :).

Sorry :p It’s ironic because I had a friend once—well we shared kitchen and bathroom in the student housing, flatmates of sorts—that used to refer to Google Maps as “Google Map” and I never corrected her because I just found that adorable for whatever reason. Lol.
