ATM The display side is OK as we show '© OpenStreetMap contributors'

However on the dialog popup before showing a new map it displays:

"The map data is licensed: CC-BY-SA."

Thus this depends on the definition of 'map data':

* Normally 'map data' (or maybe just me) without further context is taken to 
mean as the under pinning vector geo data. This is the data that OSM has 
relicensed and is now ODBL.

* However, Viking does not provide the vector geo data, so when we say 'map 
data' this should be taken to mean the cartographic tiles - these are still 
licensed CC-BY-SA.

* Thus IHMO we do not need to change license statements.


Of course IANAL applies as always!

I have no plans to change this for the imminent 1.3.2 release.


However it may be prudent to revise the wording for the 1.4 release to say "The 
tiles are licensed: CC-BY-SA."

Possibly even more prudent to be more precise and have separate 'Tile' and 'Map 
Data' license statements since these have separate licenses.

Any thoughts?
