The purpose of this feature request is to give notice about the ToU to
logged-out users, so that the terms have more legal standing. This is an idea
for chipping away at #6610, since we don’t track logged-out users’ acceptance
of the ToU and wouldn’t consider such tracking to be feasible anyways. OSMF
doesn’t intend to impose this specific solution on the project, but this is
part of our best understanding of what the LWG asked for.
The banner in question looks like this:
<img width="350" height="307" alt="Welcome to OpenStreetMap! OpenStreetMap is a
map of the world, created by people like you and free to use under an open
license. Hosting is supported by Fastly, OSMF corporate members, and other
partners."
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/cf425579-abf8-4a87-856e-db0649a5fc7e";
/>
Based on code inspection, I believe the welcome banner only ever appears to
logged-out users. If they click the ✖️ button, we set the `_osm_welcome` cookie
to `hide`, which prevents it from appearing the next time. This is sufficient
for the purpose of notifying users of the ToU.
Sometimes we configure a special banner to appear to all users. Logged-out
users see that banner underneath the welcome banner. openhistoricalmap.org is
currently running a special banner, if you’d like to see how that looks in
different situations.
Here’s where we populate the banner:
https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/blob/bcded99f5c9fc4f733ed5caedce6d1b5921fc3ab/app/views/layouts/map.html.erb#L37-L41
https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/blob/bcded99f5c9fc4f733ed5caedce6d1b5921fc3ab/config/locales/en.yml#L1852-L1855
We’d append the following text from #6610, which was suggested by the LWG:
> By using this website or other infrastructure provided by the OpenStreetMap
> Foundation, you agree to the [OpenStreetMap Terms of
> Use](https://osmfoundation.org/wiki/Terms_of_Use).
To avoid making the banner too large, especially on mobile devices, we could
make the second paragraph smaller (like it used to be, I think) and append the
new text to that paragraph.
