What about removing [the trailing "contributors" from the ©

I find the explanatory text in parentheses confusing.
I'm fine with associating OSM with its contributors, so if you say that
"© OpenStreetMap" is the same as "© OpenStreetMap contributors", I'm fine.
but if you argue that OpenStreetMap is owned by OpenStreetMapFoundation
and that "© OpenStreetMap" means "© OpenStreetMapFoundation", then I'd
rather stick to the current situation, where it's very clear that the
copyright belongs to contributors, be it as individuals or as a community.
