Is there an Open-Source Tab Database? (programming.dev)

I was reading a discussion about UG and how their money-seeking practices are rather poor, for lack of better words.

Does anyone know if there is an open-source database of tabs and chord charts, or perhaps some kind of aggregator for community contributions?

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.
