(c)OSM is not sufficient nor something that we could require as attribution for a host of different reasons. So could we please stay on topic. >> Nobody is making any exceptions. > The currently policy seems to allow rendered maps to show the logo of > the map renderer and copyrights of other data sources on the map if > they make up the majority of the data shown, without showing the > Openstreetmap copyright notice or link.

There is no current guidance for the use of multiple sources which is why we are in the progress of developing one. The reason why it is completely sensible to not require on map attribution when OSM data is not the major part of the data presented, is because OSM is not the major part of the data presented. We should not be interested in having wonky data from, choose your favourite OSM competitor, being attributed to us (btw we get enough mistaken complaints as is) and there is a trade off between accuracy and the room required to express that and the simplicity and visibility of the attribution. As laid out in the intro to the document, the attribution that is provided should not be confusing and should enable the person interacting with the produced work to determine what data is obtained from "the database", aka OSM in our case. Blanket attribution to OSM of all sources used does not do that.
