Hmmm. Yesterday I had found proper attribution (via Leaflet) in other non-health areas of their website and was putting together more comprehensive notes for them, but today I see my original health.usnews.com link *does* work (as do links for other doctors), so I assume this was just a website glitch that’s since been fixed.
Never mind 😊 Steve From: Harald Kliems <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, September 28, 2018 8:56 AM To: Levente Juhász <[email protected]> Cc: Steve Friedl <[email protected]>; OpenStreetMap talk-us list <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Talk-us] OSM map use w/o attribution at US News & World Report Yeah, same for me: https://i.imgur.com/t7VuFDB.png Maybe they fixed it very rapidly?

I'm pretty sure this is a "substantial" violation. It seems that US News & World Report is using OSM data/maps without attribution in their Health website; my opthalmologist's page https://health.usnews.com/doctors/jared-younger-768369 includes a map that I instantly recognized as OSM. I make it a point to enhance the maps every time I have an appointment somewhere, and I had done substantial cleanup of the maps in the northeast corner of Brookhurst & Ellis in Fountain Valley. The *current* map doesn't look much like the one in the US News page: https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/62921271#map=18/33.69463/-117.95174 because of my subsequent changes, but - among other things - the spurious and incorrect segment of "Ellis Street" just below the main Ellis Street was leftover Tiger data that I'd fixed as well on changeset https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/62921271 Digging in, it seems that US News runs their own tile server (example tile): https://maptile.usnews.com/tile0/12/707/1640.png so this is clearly them and not (say) Leaflet. Their terms & conditions page https://www.usnews.com/info/features/terms has a helpful email address [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> that invites contacts about copyright issues. So, I think I should be following the procedure here: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Lacking_proper_attribution with a polite note to them. Am I on the right track?
