I agree that talking about specific forms of attribution is pointless here. Each corporate OSM data user has a huge department of people who every day do no other thing than thinking about new and creative ways to pry for their users' attention and use it in the company's interest. They do not need the OSMF's help with that (or if they do they have a more serious problem).
What you don't seem to understand is that there is nothing in the ODbL that allows the conclusion that for OSM data use on certain devices there is a *lesser* requirement for making the user aware of the use of OSM data than on others (based on physical size or other factors). So the recommendation for small devices can and should only be that if a data user uses OSM data under conditions where the usual attribution is technically not possible or economically not desirable they have to choose a different form that has *an equal or larger likeliness of making the user aware of the OSM data use*. If you want to give specific examples for how to do this then you should use examples that clearly meet this requirements. A hidden attribution evidently does not. -- Christoph Hormann http://www.imagico.de/ _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
