In the case of 10 sources with ODbL attribution requirements, I would still prefer that (c)Openstreetmap be included on the rendering, because this is the only ODbL project that is totally free and open and created by individual volunteers, as far as I am aware.
Government-created databases have already been paid for by taxpayers, and will not stop existing if no one knows about them. But Openstreetmap needs new contributors, so we need people to know that we exist. However, as I mentioned above, I'm fine with providing a link to ALL copyright and attribution notices, when it's physically impossible to attribute them all properly due to limited space. This means that there can't be a "facebook" or "Mapbox" logo on the map: just a link "copyright attribution" or "data sources" (or "i" if it's a tiny 100x100 pixel map) - ideally this would pop up without needing to click, if it's online. If the map renderer wants to include their logo, then they must include (c)Openstreetmap as well (or perhaps (c)OSM if it's a tiny 200*200 pixel / 2cm*2cm map and their own logo is tiny) If the map renderer wants to include a link to their website or any other website on the online or rendered map, then they have to include a link to Openstreetmap.org. Full stop. Please provide a practical real-world example where these requirements are impossible to meet, if I'm mistaken. - Joseph Eisenberg On 9/9/19, Simon Poole <[email protected]> wrote: > To illustrate where this discussion has gone awry please consider a > rendering using 10 data sources all licensed on ODbL terms (in real life > it is not uncommon to have multiple dozens of different sources, so 10 > is not a high number).
