Hi Mishari, I won't comment on whether the attribution to OSM is enough or not. That is something that is for the OSMF Licencing Working Group to decide. Please feel free to join the legal-talk mailing list[1] if you want to discuss the lack of attribution further. But it is already known that Grab uses and contributes to OSM. Grab is a Gold Corporate Member of the OSM Foundation and they have a representative on the Advisory Board by virtue of their Gold corporate membership: https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Corporate_Members https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Advisory_Board Grab has a dedicated mapping team helping to map and improve the road network in urban areas where they operate. Their mapping process is documented on the OSM Wiki and they keep track of their progress on GitHub: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Grab https://github.com/GRABOSM/Grab-Data And there has even been a recent article on Quartz on why Grab is doing this: https://qz.com/1481849/grab-southeast-asias-biggest-ride-hailing-firm-is-on-a-mapping-spree/ [1] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/legal-talk ~Eugene
