Cloudmade is definitely consuming post license change diffs so they
are rendering from ODbL data as well. The attribution just hasn't
changed. In fact I guess that's up to BeWelcome when they create the
map in javascript.

The one minor annoyance with the tiles being used by BeWelcome is that
they don't draw state borders. Here in the US this means that you can
get lost for 2-3 zoom levels if you are zooming in on the middle of
the country.

But regardless of rendering style, it's great to see other
"open-minded" projects using OSM. Welcome to the party and thanks for
sharing.
