It seems like the SEO industry power houses came together and Open Sourced their data

Moved from DSQ:

It seems like the SEO industry power  houses came together and

I did ask this in a former hangout sadly we missed +Micah Fisher-Kirshner   to digest this...  

So what is your point a view to this move from industry leaders?
