How to credit OpenStreetMap
We require that you use the credit “© OpenStreetMap contributors”.
You must also make it clear that the data is available under the Open
Database License, and if using our map tiles, that the cartography is
licensed as CC BY-SA. You may do this by linking to this copyright page.
Alternatively, and as a requirement if you are distributing OSM in a
data form, you can name and link directly to the license(s). In media
where links are not possible (e.g. printed works), we suggest you direct
your readers to openstreetmap.org (perhaps by expanding 'OpenStreetMap'
to this full address), to opendatacommons.org, and if relevant, to
creativecommons.org.
For a browsable electronic map, the credit should appear in the corner
of the map.
hi Adrian, you are corect. When displaying OSM tiles, it looks like
MozStumbler needs to display the OSM credit on the map view itself. I
filed a MozStumbler bug report to fix this:
https://github.com/mozilla/MozStumbler/issues/757
Mozilla pays Mapbox to serve map tiles. I believe Mapbox's tiles are
derived from OSM data but I don't know if they are derived from OSM art.
MozStumbler uses the osmdroid map library to render the tiles. osmdroid
may cache the tiles locally on the sdcard. The cached tiles may be
indirectly reused by other apps using osmdroid, but I do not know
whether Mapbox's license allows anyone to redistribute the tile files
directly.
Mozilla's MozStumbler builds include our Mapbox API key. MozStumbler
builds compiled by contributors or fdroid.org do not have a Mapbox API
key, so the build automatically defaults to the osmdroid's default tile
server (tile.openstreetmap.org).
