An alternative which would be less universally obtrusive and could be <br>
better tuned in intensity would be an in-the-map message generated <br>
through a map style modification.<br>
<br>
Like:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://github.com/imagico/osm-carto-alternative-colors/commit/4a807e18dab2b6e369772e8d06433f5776a7d151" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/imagico/osm-carto-alternative-colors/commit/4a807e18dab2b6e369772e8d06433f5776a7d151</a><br>
<br>
Resulting in:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.imagico.de/files/eu-copyright-osm.png" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.imagico.de/files/eu-copyright-osm.png</a><br>
<br>
at z2 to z6.<br>
<br>
This would be a matter or rolling out the style modification, <br>
re-rendering z2 to z6 and reverting to the normal style and <br>
re-rendering again afterwards. Not sure how much work that would be.<br>
<br>
This would maintain the map usability with only minor limitations at z2 <br>
to z6.<br>
