It definitely doesn't require that: >From the license: All advertising materials and documentation mentioning features or use of this database must display the following acknowledgment: "This product includes GeoLite data created by MaxMind, available from http://maxmind.com/"; The homepage is neither advertising material or documentation, and there's no requirement to mention the use of geo-ip system at all. If you do mention the use or features of geo-ip in documentation, we can include that acknowledgement. It's obviously not a core feature of osm so no need to mention it except possibly in the most detailed documentation. They're not trying to get on anyone's home page! regards, Sam _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
