Unfortunately proposed version contains major loophole that will be deliberately exploited by organisation like Facebook or Maps.me or Mapbox that describe OSM data as their own. "If OpenStreetMap data accounts for a minority (less than 50%) part of the visible map rendering, attribution with other sources on a separate page that is visible after user interaction is acceptable." In basically any readable map less that 50% of visible map rendering is using OSM data or can be trivially modified to do it. For example - claim that land area is not from OSM data but default map state or use alternative data for land boundaries. ---- Note that claim that this companies* will use ridiculous loopholes is not prediction, they are doing it already or simply lying. Mapbox representative explicitly claimed in mail to me that hiding attribution behind ibuttons fulfills ODBL requirements. FB and mapsme ignored multiple reports about their attribution violation. *and other, but in this cases I reported their illegal use of work of OSM mappers and got ignored.
