Yes, crediting © OpenStreetMap with the appropriate link would be a good solution. Aside from being more concise, it's a lot less awkward in a non-English or multilingual context. Note that our Legal FAQ¹ already allow this in some circumstances: > Because OpenStreetMap *is* its contributors, you may omit the word > "contributors" if space is limited. So using the snappier attribution in all contexts would also simplify things compared to the status quo of having two different attribution wordings depending on the available space. You're in luck, by the way: The latest draft attribution guideline already proposes this very change. And while there are some problematic aspects of that draft which need to be changed before it can be accepted, your suggestion was popular in past discussions (e.g. in August²), so there's a good chance it will become reality.
