I had some luck contacting executives I found on LinkedIn when I had a similar issue with WOW.

Um, if they are asking for an avenue to do so, probably yes?

I personally spend hundreds a month on charitable donations - to political advocacy groups, social outreach organizations, and to open-source software that provides me immense value. I think this is one of the most direct ways I can influence the world around me.

Yeah, that's my feeling too - which is why I'm not even sure Rebble can legally distribute these to Pebble if they wanted.

That's certainly the sticking point for Core. Also, Rebble is a non-profit, not a business.

> But also, they must have some big balls to claim that all of the data they scraped from the Pebble App Store is THEIR data. I'd like to see the agreements from the pre-Rebble devs attesting to that.

Agreed with this, but if it's not theirs, they also probably are not legally permitted to release it to Pebble (or host their app store, of course.) I am curious what the original terms were when they uploaded their apps to the OG Pebble app store.

I don't think that's quite right - Rebble has updated a number of these apps to keep them supported. As sibling commenter posted, the original apps are available publicly.
