I am reading the new copyright and license page, but don't find it very clear to understand.
http://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright "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)... For a browsable electronic map, the credit should appear in the corner of the map." To whom applies the requirement to credit in the corner of the map, just to users of the datatiles or to all users of OSM data presenting it in some form of browsable electronic map? Where does this requirement come from? Or am I misinterpreting this, and "should" is not a requirement but a recommendation? Crosschecking with the legal FAQ it seems that an about-box/page would be fine as well: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Legal_FAQ#3a._I_would_like_to_use_OpenStreetMap_maps._How_should_I_credit_you.3F "For a browsable electronic map (e.g. embedded in a web page or mobile phone application), the credit should appear in the corner of the map, as commonly seen with map APIs/libraries such as Google Maps, or an about box/page.". cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ legal-talk mailing list legal-talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/legal-talk
