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?
IMHO, the simple solution is the better: only revise the wording. The
reason is only tiles are downloaded by this code, license of data used
to draw this tiles does not matter. If we add something to download
data, we will have to use another wording and a reference to ODBL.
Related question: what about traces? Viking knows how to download
GPX traces from OSM servers. But I think we do not advertise about
license.
