Attribution (which is what you talk about) consists of naming the author and the license. Naming the author (expressis verbis: naming "OpenStreetMap contributors") directly on the website is a good feature that shouldn't be omitted. It stays there on screenshots and leaves no doubt that "it comes from OSM". BTW, I don't like your hammer & drop symbol (even don't see an explanation for it). The link serves as the second thing: naming the license. This is twofold: - stating ODbL for the data - stating CC BY-SA for the map tiles (especially for the default ones) Of course, the link landing page (could read /copyright, /license -- /contributors for me seems not so good) could be made "more pleasant", could be an overlay window etc. Naming (for Austria) Wien, Vbg. and Tirol (plus the wording!) on /copyright was requested by the CC BY license holders (which came from the fact that there already were such attributions). /al
