Tod, Evin,
If you think that, indeed, OSM is being used without an
attribution, why don't you ask politely that they add it. It probably
is an oversight. That way, OSM makes another friend. You could even
offer to provide help (if you have time).

Seems like this is something that really needs to be fixed. It sure
seems dumb that there no attribution to OSM when you embed an OSM
map on another webpage.

I've changed a web page from using an embedded Google map using the
"Share" with "HTML" option from
<http://www.openstreetmap.org/>http://www.openstreetmap.org/ having
selected the tiles to be from Mapquest and found that it embeds
exactly like that, without the OSM attribution. Seems like if you do
it from OSM, the attribution should just be there.
For example, plop this into a web page and look to see what you get:
<iframe width="425" height="350" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"
marginheight="0" marginwidth="0"
src="<http://www.openstreetmap.org/export/embed.html?bbox=-119.1426,34.7812,-119.0945,34.8394&layer=mapquest&marker=34.81261,-119.12715>http://www.openstreetmap.org/export/embed.html?bbox=-119.1426,34.7812,-119.0945,34.8394&layer=mapquest&marker=34.81261,-119.12715";
style="border: 1px solid black">
</iframe>
I guess I could futz with the HTML and setup my own server to be in
the middle and have it add the attribution but that is way more than
you can expect the average user to do.
