Betreff: Re: [OSM-dev] Legal question about attribution text on smartphone
It’s not our app, but this is an (indoor) map SDK which can be integrated into
other native iOS and Android apps. A list (UIActionSheet on iOS) appears when
our logo is tapped, showing multiple links (including a link to
www.openstreetmap.org/copyright<http://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright>).
Having our logo visible is a legal requirement also, and it wouldn’t be
convenient to place the list with multiple legal links not associated to OSM
behind the OSM attribution logo or text.
If we need to show two logos it would waste space for navigation controls and
building / floor selection UI elements.
Since the map view will be used in other apps, we cannot control what is shown
on the splash screen. We can place it there for our own apps, and ask customers
of our SDK to place it there. But from experience this is often forgotten, and
I’d rather prefer a permanent solution and give credit to OSM one way or
another on the map view.
Cheers

So I dunno? Maybe? There could be ways around it if you don't want to include
it on every map page. Does your app have a loading/spash screen? Including an
attribution there, which is shown every time the app is started might meet the
requirements.
have you seen this page?
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Legal_FAQ
generally, if there is enough space for your logo, there should also be for osm
(on pages showing maps). If there's space for just one attribution, why not use
it to attribute osm? The user will more likely be aware who you are (as he's
using your app) than he will be that your map data comes from osm, so
prioritizing OSM attribution seems to make sense
