Exactly. This has been identified to be the community consensus very early in the discussion on the attribution guideline and it was also quite clearly the expectation of the community when the ODbL was originally adopted in the license change process. In the Community attribution advice i formulated some time ago: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Community_attribution_advice I phrased it like this: "What we mean by this is that the criterion for a valid attribution is if it effectively makes the user aware that OpenStreetMap data licensed under the ODbL is used." Side note: Facebook's main business model is selling the attention of their users to paying advertisement customers. They have a huge department doing nothing but analysis of their users' behavior all day long. They know *exactly* how many (or more accurately: how few) of the users of their maps actually become aware of the origin of the data in OSM. -- Christoph Hormann http://www.imagico.de/ _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
