MODERATORS
What UG has is years of data and the work of people spotting errors in tabs.
We can certainly make it happen but it is a ton of work and it needs to be by people with training and or years of music experience willing to donate their work.
Scraping/Piracy?
I'm curious if scraping UG and uploading elsewhere is considered piracy. Do they "own" submissions of other people's music?
I might just try to make an alt frontend for UG with additional OSS tab submission options. It sounds like a fun project.
I mean... You've just defined "open source" to be fair
Crowd sourced, not open.
True, though Open Source when it comes to "art" is a bit weirder. As others have said maybe Crowd Sourced is the right term, and keeping the content as something like creative commons would be the most open way to go.
I am happy to help with this on the code front but I am not at a skill level where I can write tabs at all.
