Needless to say that the program contains no proper attribution and no
license hint whatsoever. :-(
From reading their forums, I get the impression that they had initially
hard-coded a number of tile providers, and then dropped these in favour
of a "user configurable" tile URL in order to avoid trouble with Google
et al.
Leaving morality aside for a moment, I wonder what the attribution
requirement actually is in that situation. Say you make an Android app
that has no built-in tile sources but if you enter an URL in some text
box it will try to load tiles from there.
Does CC-BY-SA require that the application programmer somehow cleverly
finds out that the user has entered the OSM tile server, that this tile
server serves CC-BY-SA tiles, and that the attribution is so-and-so?
Probably not, which means that as long as you don't explicitly support
OSM you don't need attribution, right?
Bye
Frederik
