Hi Kay, as far as I know there is no other way to influence the wrapping of tool tips than passing formatted text. To solve that "defensive" you have two options:
1) Add a menu item to open a copyright dialog with a text browser that does automatic formatting. Similar to QLGT. The map menu is created in CMapList(). 2) Tinker the text. That means analysing the structure for long lines and adding line breaks. This can be done in IMap::getCopyright(). Either way, I don't have the time to do it. Currently I am right in the middle of implementing track range selection via various sources, like the track profile etc. It's quite complicated and I think this is what users appreciate much more ;) So you can either exercise a bit of coding yourself, or create an issue on the web page. By that it's not forgotten and someone interested in contributing can pick it. Actually it's a quite nice task to get into the code. And a small history fact: I checked all my "old" maps. All copyright strings have a sane length. Mostly something like "done by cgpsmapper" :P In fact it's just the openmtb map that really does stress that property.
