Who is behind these unnecessarily restrictive rules about attribution popping up everywhere? It used to be that we simply had that general rule that we wanted attribution reasonable to the medium, which would definitely allow placing attribution into the credits for a video. In my opinion, demanding anything more than a mention in the credits is excessive, considering how many other people and organizations only ever appear there. Of course it would be nice to get more, and we should ask for it. But it should not be a hard rule.

[OSM-legal-talk] Travel Channel + OSM
Hi all, Someone from the Travel Channel contacted me about using OpenStreetMap tiles in an upcoming show but wanted to see if they could attribute OSM in the ending credits rather than on the map. I was wondering if there were any thoughts on this? Thanks, Alyssa. From the original email: Right now I’m working on a new series for the Travel Channel and we’d like to use your maps as a basis for some GFX that would be used from time to time in our show. Basic things that pop up now and again to help the view at home understand where in the world we are and, when applicable, where we’re traveling to. In the past I’ve had no trouble following your very generous credit guidelines but because of the nature of TV I’m hoping I can make a slight compromise on how we credit your data. Instead of putting a on the bottom right corner, which we have to keep open for our Travel Channel bug and some other graphics, I’d like to give you a credit at the end of our show. These go for about the last 30 seconds during the last scene of each episode and will clearly state that all map data for the series was provided by your organization. ___ legal-talk mailing list legal-talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/legal-talk
