<p>There's an argument to be made both ways. jfirebaugh has a point about the "canonical example" - we've had people in the past acting surprised about having to add attribution, saying "but OSM itself doesn't have it". But tomhughes has a point about "reducing prominence". Nobody looks at the small print in the corner of a map - for us, the license is an essential part of what we're doing, not some footnote "btw we got our map from provider X".</p>
<p>Suggestion:</p>
<ul>
<li>add canonical attribution like jfirebaugh suggested</li>
<li>do not remove it from the sidebar though</li>
<li>if the "Help" headline doesn't work for what's below it, change the headline and not the content below it ;)</li>
</ul>
