If the map is seen as separate from the rest of the page, then I think it's probably fine. However, I think that it's a stretch to say that the single map component is seperate from the rest of the result. The whole thing creates a single creative work. Therefore, I think that every result that uses an OSM map should be licenced under CC-BY-SA or similar: *"Share Alike* — If you alter, transform, or build upon this work, you may distribute the resulting work only under the same or similar license to this one" [1] However, from the sounds of this discussion, the OSM community seems to really be caring about the attribution requirement. If so, I think the group should reduce its licencing requirements to CC-BY. This would reflect the intention of what people are after in practice. -Tim [1] http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/
