I can see problems with fosm.org having the Attribution-link deeplinken to
the Attribution page on the openstreetmap wiki. Just to name two:
1) It suggests that fosm and osm are one and the same. which they are not.
2) fosm will not / cannot attribute those who only work on fosm.

Personally I don't care much about the second issue. That's with fosm and
it's contributors. If their contributors don't want to be attributed, that's
up to them.

Cheers,
Henk
