The search engines for Open Access articles are not particularly proprietor. The main on in Germany, BASE, is run by a scientific library. They are mostly rather bad and only searching for Open Access articles does not make scientific sense, you need to know all relevant studies.
The rest sounds like a social network for scientists like RG. Agree that this is something we need and also a good way to discover literature. I often look on the homepages of colleagues to find articles.

I could not find its source code and license. none https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_academic_databases_and_search_engines#Full-text_aggregators seems to be freely licensed either? i know at least https://dblp.org/db/about/copyright.html freely licenses its metadata. edit https://docs.openalex.org/website interesting
developing a RG alternative can be focused first if that’s what stakeholders deem as priority
I am stakeholder. Where can I vote? :-)
this needs some initial formalization. looking at prior endeavors https://olki.loria.fr/platform/index.html seems similar to what we are talking about and more. looks like their funding is no more https://olki.loria.fr/detpage/plateforme/ and no more development as well https://framagit.org/synalp/olki https://framagit.org/cerisara/olki. they developed a “standard for federation of scientific activities and content using ActivityPub” https://synalp.frama.io/olki/scifed. i will look into installing it https://members.loria.fr/CCerisara/#olkisocial/ to see it for myself
