There has never been any concern about the validity of it. Is this template approved/endorsed by the OSMF? I wonder because the contract mentions: "The citation will be showed on the following web page http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Attribution"; Besides "showed" is US English (I would have expected this to be "shown"), how does this wiki page relate to these pages?
Those templates, as I told already to Christoff, are the ones the imports guidelines wiki refers to in Step 3 of the wiki.
I don't have any idea if the OSMF has to endorse that or not. I am not expert in legal matters, but I guess if I donate whatever to the OSMF, with whatever document, the OSMF can do whatever they like. If data is given to the OSMF with the ODbL license, I can't imagine the OSMF not giving permission to the OSM contributors to use that data for import into OSM.
- http://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright (in the "contributors" paragraph) - http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Contributors Are all of them on the same level? Shall importers add the source reference to all these pages? Should we merge the 2 pages? I would expect this page: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Contributors to be the important one, because it is linked from the "official" (non-wiki) copyright page.
I don't know if they have to be merged or not. I leave that decision to others.
Cheers, Rafael.
Cheers, Martin
