It would be interesting to get some data behind this. OSM's position when the current attribution text was drawn up in 2012 has been exactly that: "reasonably calculated" means "what people would expect for other data providers". There are only three other geodata providers with a similar product to OSM, i.e. a worldwide street-level database used for display maps: Google, TomTom, and Here. In 2012 all three generally required direct on-map attribution and my impression is that this is still the case, but real data about current usage and practices would be great. > A court would also look at what OSM does.

Some of this data is > also under ODbL! Why is this not reasonable? OSM expressly states that our "after a link" behaviour is not compliant with licences such as ODbL and the CC-BY family. Instead, we need to get an attribution waiver before using any data licensed under such terms. As per https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Licence/Licence_Compatibility : "Many sources simply require attribution of the source as a condition of use, however as we cannot provide attribution on works created or derived from OpenStreetMap data and our licence only requires attribution of the overall data source, permission for attribution via our central 'Contributors' pages needs to be obtained and documented." cheers Richard -- Sent from: http://gis.19327.n8.nabble.com/General-Discussion-f5171242.html _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
