FWIW, it is a recurring topic and was discussed not only recently but many many times in the past years. Some projects not attributing in a very obvious way would not be tolerated by other data providers (e.g. Google, Here), so it clearly isn't the industry standard of attributing map data to have the attribution one or more clicks away from the map. Common attribution requirements are _on_ the map. Last year, we were told that a new official OSMF attribution guideline was just about to be released. In March you let us know we should not "hold our breath" for the new attribution guidance to come out any soon: https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/issues/2375#issuecomment-605423823 It does not mean we do not have such guidance, it is already there, in the legal FAQ: https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Licence/Licence_and_Legal_FAQ#Where_to_put_it.3F "This credit needs to appear in a place that is reasonable to the medium or means you are utilising. In other words, you should expect to credit OpenStreetMap in the same way and with the same prominence as would be expected by any other map supplier. Therefore:... For a *browsable electronic map* (e.g. embedded in a web page or mobile phone application), the credit should typically appear in the corner of the map, as commonly seen with map APIs/libraries such as Google Maps."
