And that it is merely interpretation of the ODBL licence in form more readable and useful to a typical person "It is permissible to use a mechanism to collapse the attribution as long as it is initially fully visible" This is a second major loophole. Mapsme is already showing attribution for second or two after startup (startup is very long, so user is extremely unlikely to notice and read brief appearance of text). I have no good idea how to close it. I would recommend removal of this part. "If multiple static images appear on the same webpage, one instance of attribution is sufficient." "for the most prominent item, with wording clearly covering all static images with OSM data" is missing, otherwise you would be allowed to add harmless attribution to last image that no-one will notice. ------ "In accordance with the Substantial Guideline, static images of areas less 10’000 m2" This is extremely surprising to me. Where in ODBL licence attribution is waived for all small areas? I can find cases where so small areas will have substantial data that is valuable and represents significant work of OSM mappers. Though given that it is just quoting something else it may be a poor moment to change this.
