That "fair use" argument is actually pretty interesting and something <br>
that people often may not think about. IANAL, but I would guess, for <br>
example, that taking a screenshot of your app or website, which includes <br>
a map and also does include attribution, and then crop it and cut away <br>
the attribution incidentally, and use the result as a promotional image <br>
on social media, may be a case where it would be considered "fair use" <br>
and therefore attribution claims may never be successful due to this <br>
exception from copyright law. The specific case is just a guess, but <br>
things like that should be taken into account when we go out and demand <br>
attribution on every little tidbit of OSM-based imagery we see floating <br>
around...<br>
