Would this be correct?
Unfortunately I can't tell you if that is correct, as I am not a lawyer, and I also find the documentation somewhat confusing. I was hoping osmf could put out some specific examples of attribution, but so far haven't seen any. But the above wording would correspond to how I would interpret the legal FAQ. So unless we can get some advise from the wikimedia legal team, I would suggest to just use that wording and should OSMF complain be prepared to change it. With respect to the license of tiles: This has been a somewhat controversial debate what licenses "produced works" can actually be under. Particularly can it be under CC-0. My understand would be it can't as the ODbL requires the produced work to contain a notice that it is produced from data under the ODbL. So I think, an attribution license, like CC BY is the minimum the produced work can be under. I am not sure if the license the style sheet is under plays any role in what the tiles are licensed at. I think it can be anything, as has been the case while data and tiles were CC BY-SA. But I am not a lawyer, so I don't really know. Kai P.S. Otherwise, it sounds like no objections to re-importing. So as soon as I can free enough space on the partition, I will begin the new import.
