<p dir="auto">If is very unpleasant, that there is no information, that no new entries will be added to the copyright page or better the copyright page is modified to put all references to other place.</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">I kind of agree, though it is unclear where that information should be located. In any case the template waiver only points to the wiki page <a href="https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Licence/Waiver_and_Permission_Templates/Cover_letter_and_waiver_template_for_CC_BY_4.0" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Licence/Waiver_and_Permission_Templates/Cover_letter_and_waiver_template_for_CC_BY_4.0</a> Note that Creative Commons was of the opinion that the CC BY 4.0 wording didn't require any special permission in scenarios in which central attribution is the only practical option, we chose to still ask for it because we respect our data providers and don't want to rely on fine detail in the licence they may have missed, as <a class="user-mention notranslate" data-hovercard-type="user" data-hovercard-url="/users/pnorman/hovercard" data-octo-click="hovercard-link-click" data-octo-dimensions="link_type:self" href="https://github.com/pnorman">@pnorman</a> wrote if they don't want to give permission this would be something that would lead to us not wanting to use the data. See <a href="https://blog.openstreetmap.org/2017/03/17/use-of-cc-by-data/" rel="nofollow">https://blog.openstreetmap.org/2017/03/17/use-of-cc-by-data/</a></p>
<blockquote>
<p dir="auto">Second point is, that putting this kind of stuff to wiki, that can be edited by anybody, is viewed as not equal to the copyright page by these institutions.</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">The current way of providing attribution for 3rd party sources is broken and needs to be replaced, however that is not an opinion universally held. But I agree, see <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2017/Project_Ideas#Third_Party_Source_Management_System" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2017/Project_Ideas#Third_Party_Source_Management_System</a> and <a href="https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/rethinking-the-import-catalog/99309/1" rel="nofollow">https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/rethinking-the-import-catalog/99309/1</a></p>
<p dir="auto">Further discussion on the specifics of attribution location would probably be better on the forum.</p>
