aawiseman created an issue (openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website#6538)
### Problem
The Communications Working Group has gotten a lot of questions lately about if
people can use a screenshot of OSM in their publication or TV show etc. The
answer is yes, just attribute us. We should make that info easier to find, such
as on the About page.
For example if you go to [osm.org](http://osm.org/) and click About there is
this page https://www.openstreetmap.org/about with some good info, but mostly
it says reach out to us with legal questions. It would be good to have the
screenshot issue on there since it is a common question and we want more people
to be using and attributing OSM without having to reach out and ask us, because
the answer is yes.
