OSM and third parties provide attribution by linking to osm.org/copyright which links to http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Contributors There is no legal requirement that a particular tag be preserved in OSM or by third parties, and the attribution tag is regularly dropped from many derivative databases. The source and attribution tags are for mapper convenience, not legal requirements. _______________________________________________ Imports mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/imports
