I received a message from Tableau Software. First a little info about Tableau Software and OSM. Tableau Software is a user of OSM data, contributor and has sponsored OSM events. Because of the size of the message blow is a link to the text of the message. [1] I've summarized their questions below, but the message goes into more detail along with sample images.
They are trying to understand how to attribute OSM data on their tiles. While the wiki is clear when describing a simple instance, i.e. Craigslist using of OSM, there doesn't seem to be any help when OSM is just one of many contributors. I apologize if I missed the wiki document that covers all this. I like the Mapbox solution the author mentions of putting a box on the map to take you to another page. I realize that unless the user clicks on the link, they will never discover that OSM contributed to this product. Since OSM may be only one of many contributors this make sense considering that there is only so much screen real estate available. Can I get some feedback on the questions posed so I can answer Tableau? - Is a general link that says "Map Attribution" which is clickable and takes the user to a more detailed page acceptable? - Is a general link that says "Map Attribution" with the pop up like in the above example which would then point to our more detailed page acceptable? - Instead of placing the attribution directly on the map, could it be available from a menu setting on the application toolbar?
