I agree - we should practice exactly what we're requiring others to do, which is adhere to the terms of our own license.
I do not, however, agree that the URL makes it clear that the data comes from OpenStreetMap - for example, data shown on www.foo.co could easily be from www.bar.org. Again - look at the Bing maps example. Everyone probably thinks all the data comes from just Microsoft, but it's clearly marked (c) 2012 Nokia. Also, to the discussions about whether we should do stuff just because Google (or Microsoft) does them. In general, I'd say no. In the area of legal protection, where they probably have a full-time staff of trademark and copyright lawyers, I'd say yes.
