The text of the first section previously ended with this sentence: "To what extent you might practically get away with lesser attribution - either legally or socially - is outside the scope of this document."
Probably such a sentence is acceptable in some cultures, but it sounds odd in the Anglo-American legal context so I removed it. However, perhaps there is a more polite way to say the same sort of thing, without seeming to invite "getting away with it?" -- Joseph Eisenberg On Sat, Dec 5, 2020 at 12:36 AM Mateusz Konieczny via talk < talk@openstreetmap.org> wrote: > One thing that is missing to me is explicit mention that it is not > overriding ODBL or related laws and is not adding any legal > requirements. > > If someone follows ODBL license or is in situation where following license > is not needed for some reason, they can legally do this. > > Maybe also mention that it is may be recommending more attribution than > bare minimum that is required by ODBL, so it is a safe solution that should > be also fine for any typical[1] project that is not hostile to OSM? > > [1] "typical" - especially for very small objects things gets trickier, > if you are making some special purpose map (tactile map for blind) > then attribution also needs to be adapted, if map is going to be used > in place where English is not understood in general you will definitely > need to translate attribution etc etc. > > https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Draft_Attribution_Guideline claim > that smartphone has not enough space for attribution is clearly untrue. > But if you show OSM map on screen of size 1cm x 1 cm or similarly tiny > physical object then alternative attribution methods - that still comply > with > ODBL - may be preferable. > > Dec 4, 2020, 21:41 by joseph.eisenb...@gmail.com: > > I appreciate the wik page "Community attribution advice" which was made > by another community member.
