I do not know what the OSMF does regarding attribution and other license violations, but I know cases where the local community "enforced" the attribution, which, as others pointed out, would not be possible for PD data. Usually you don't need to sue users to get a correct attribution. That's all I personally want to see when someone uses OSM data. Norbert
