Argh, but that FAQ is wrong. It's a requirement of the license that you must provide either a link to the license or the license itself. Section 4a: "You may distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or publicly digitally perform the Work only under the terms of this License, and You must include a copy of, or the Uniform Resource Identifier for, this License with every copy or phonorecord of the Work You distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or publicly digitally perform.," whereas the FAQ says: "Where possible, 'OpenStreetMap' should be hyperlinked to http://www.openstreetmap.org/, and CC-BY-SA to http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/ ." There's no "where possible" regarding the license. As far as I see it, and feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, the three requirements are: * Attribution to the contributors (appropriate to the medium, etc) * Notice that the work is available under the license * Either the text of the license OR the URI for the license. Cheers, Andy PS We can discuss including the text of the license/URI in every tile served at some other point... _______________________________________________ legal-talk mailing list legal-talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/legal-talk
