Looking at the licensing page there is still the explicit requirement to credit osm "in the corner of the map" and in the meantime the FAQ has been amended with the same requirement. Some time ago this wasn't required explicitly, that's why I ask when this was introduced and by whom? (the old requirement was that it should be stated somewhere that (c) is osm contributors).
The "Legal FAQ" wiki page still says "...in the corner of the map... or an about box/page".
I agree with Tobias that for apps on mobile devices which use a lot of different data from different sources this is somehow impractical, as it would clutter the screen (fortunately there is no minimum font size requirement ;-) ).
+1. "In the corner" is overly restrictive, especially for maps with multiple sources. The copyright page should say the same thing as the wiki page does.
