I am interested in knowing about facebook's reply to the OSMF notifications, that they are not complying with the attribution requirements and that they must either attribute in a way that is compatible with the license, or cease publicly performing works based on our data. Has there been any reply? What is a reasonable response time for large scale copyright infringement? These are screenshots I just took right now, illustrating the issue: https://i.ibb.co/M2gp82H/Screenshot-2020-11-06-at-10-31-40.png https://i.ibb.co/rcSHmK3/Screenshot-2020-11-06-at-10-31-51.png Cheers Martin
