Alex - for the recent King County and City of Seattle disclaimers, I explicitly pointed them to the http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/** wiki/Contributors <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Contributors>, and asked if putting the disclaimers on that page would suffice. They said yes. I don't know if that means the wiki page is the right or best solution, just that it indisputably worked for 2 sources.
My impression is that there's also a mismatch between import sources who *should* be listed (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Category:Import) and those who actually are. I'd be glad to compare and update the attributions... assuming no one else is dying to do it! ; ) - Jeff On Tue, Jan 15, 2013 at 2:29 PM, Frederik Ramm <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > > On 15.01.2013 23:15, Alex Barth wrote: > >> I'd like to understand better, have these parties been promised the >> /copyright location for credits?
