What defines a major source? If I say I want my data to be displayed with attribution on any application that uses OSM, I don't think that's reasonable. We can reference them on the website, in a press release, whatever. But keep it the hell away from the maps. > or how about as a separate, floating layer that can be turned on and > off? something on by default (again, at zoom 18 only)? when the user > zooms into the area, the layer is turned on, but they are asked > (subtly) if they want it off from that point onwards? would using > cookies to determine if they have been to that zoom level in that area > be workable? You're missing the point. If I run my own mapnik instance and make my own stylesheet the has no attribution because I think it's ugly, can I now be sued because I left it out? I thought the whole point of this project was to get away from crap like that...
