I guess you mean: http://www.nearmap.com/ They are not using OpenStreetMap, apparently they're using the closed version: StreetMap Nice website though!

It's credited in the same place as all the copyrights and credits are listed: http://www.nearmap.com/legal/copyright http://www.nearmap.com/legal/terms-of-use You'll find it close to the section where we make it clear you can use our photomaps to derive work under CC-BY-SA... for example, to contribute to OSM :) More seriously, though, this question has already been raised, and we follow the guidelines at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Legal_FAQ#I_would_like_to_use_OpenStreetMap_maps._How_should_I_credit_you.3F and credit OpenStreetMap in the same way and with the same prominence as you would any other map supplier.

Re: [OSM-talk] Attribution of OSM on nearmap.om?
should typically != must :) But the key point is that we attribute OSM with the same prominence as we do any other supplier. You'll note that there is no copyright message relating to the photomaps on the main page (for us, or any supplier).

You'll note that there is no copyright message relating to the photomaps on the main page (for us, or any supplier). I find this attribution to be completely reasonable. The Legal FAQ is just a FAQ, but the only thing that applies in the CC-BY-SA, which just includes clauses like reasonable to the medium. Map - Information - Copyrights and credits is no different than e.g.: 1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenStreetMap 2. File - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Cambridge-Openstreetmap-08-06-13.svg 3. Look at Permission. Having a floating OpenLayers attribution element in the lower right corner is one way to do it, but it's not the only way, and people that don't pick that particular way aren't doing anything wrong as far as I can tell. ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
Re: [OSM-talk] Attribution of OSM on nearmap.om?
I take back my earlier comments, apparently it is ok to have it behind a link. Another website you might know also has it like this: http://www.openstreetmap.org/ If you could also fix the StreetMap and OpenStreetMaps texts this website will be a excellent addition to OSM.
