I know that adding endless boilerplate legal text is bad, but more legal text is better than more misunderstanding. - Rob. ___ legal-talk mailing list legal-talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/legal-talk

BY-SA doesn't require a copyright notice. It requires keeping intact copyright notices that are provided, as well as license notice. Given that copyright is automatic, many licensors don't provide the former, though it may be useful to do so anyway for education. The notices provided by CC don't include an explicit copyright notice. Spelling out Creative Commons Attribution-Sharealike v3.0 and adding years to each notice wouldn't hurt either. It seems to me space is at a premium in the corner of a map or a caption, and spelling out doesn't gain much, but that's just my opinion. Just as an experiment in brevity ©OpenStreetMap data ODbL[ tiles BY-SA] With OpenStreetMap, ODbL, and BY-SA linked to the obvious places, [] when tiles used. I also recommend using the *word* copyright rather than (c), as it is my understanding that the English word has international legal weight but the copyright symbol or its ASCII equivalent doesn't. That's the oddest thing I've read today. Really?

Same is true of ODbL which says If hyperlinks are not possible, You should include the plain text of the required URI’s with the above notice.

Para 7 here, I may have been wrong about the copyright symbol: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html Grepping Berne for the word English doesn't immediately show anything germane to this however.
