Thanks for weighing in everyone. Based on the discussion, here are the
immediate adjustments I'm seeing shaking out from this thread:
1. Don't mandate, but recommend/offer attribution mark
2. Make it clear that /copyright is scrollable

Agreed. I think that either With OSM or Powered By OSM would explain
the relationship a bit better than By OSM which suggests explicit
