I didn't mention your name because we had a private talk about this, and I didn't want to bring up a private discussion with you without your consent. Maybe suggested was the wrong choice of words. As I said before, we do want to adhere to the OSM license, and support OSM. I only wanted to know if there was more information somewhere on what would be seen as 'right', as that currently is pretty sparse. We have a lot of constrains on our application: there are not many mapping applications I know of that do support a 128*160 pixel screen, and still show a map on that. We want to show as much map as possible, 2 buttons, and the licence text in a space about as big as the OSM logo on the wiki. Thats why I asked if placing it on the side of the map would be ok.
Let me say this again: I didn't want to annoy anyone, we do want to adhere to the OSM license, but I just want to know how to do that best.
