I can't take credit for the suggestion, as I think this was Richard F's idea (I knew I'd seen it somewhere: is this fair attribution? <grin>). Maybe, for an online map (such as osm.org), a more prominent link to OSM's contributors page would be sufficient (again, only maybe - still not certain a national mapping agency would think so). I think I had a printed map in my mind. It would be impractical to list all contributors, but certainly possible to list the most significant for the area/scale (I mention scale, as I don't think it reasonable to need to attribute, say, Ordnance Survey if you are rendering only a World Map with no significant detail from OS).
For online maps we could even render maps with explicit sources. But for printed maps; why not a long tail approach?
This map has been aggregated from the following sources: 60% AND 10% OS 5% Ldp ~ Others Stefan _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
