Yes but not really sure of the kinf of attribution. For example here in France, the fiscal administration allow us (OSM contributors) to use the "cadastre" (1) (map of all French parcels) to help mapping the country. The only conditions where to not use the data as a whole package (but aggregate with our own data, ie adding building usage name..., drawing rivers and roads...) and to note the source of the data. Lot of french user use the JOSM plug-in "cadastre" (2) to map their town using the provided map as a background. The plug-in add "source=cadastre 2010..." and its fine. When the final user see the map it only saw the global copyright (© OSM contributors...") the real source of some of the data are still "cadastre" and are tagged as "source" in the database. I don't see incompatibility here, or do i miss something ? Do OSM have to put the name of all the attribution for the maps displayed ? Do the new licence/CT require that we do not use the "source" tag anymore ?
