<x-tab> </x-tab>If you
think that, indeed, OSM is being used without an attribution, why don't
you ask politely that they add it. It probably is an oversight. That way,
OSM makes another friend. You could even offer to provide help (if you
have time).<br><br>

<dd>I've changed a web page from using an embedded Google map using the
"Share" with "HTML" option from
<a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/">http://www.openstreetmap.org/</a>
having selected the tiles to be from Mapquest and found that it embeds
exactly like that, without the OSM attribution. Seems like if you do it
from OSM, the attribution should just be there.<br><br>
<dd>For example, plop this into a web page and look to see what you
get:<br><br>
<dd><iframe width="425" height="350"
frameborder="0" scrolling="no"
marginheight="0" marginwidth="0"
src="<a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/export/embed.html?bbox=-119.1426,34.7812,-119.0945,34.8394&layer=mapquest&marker=34.81261,-119.12715">
http://www.openstreetmap.org/export/embed.html?bbox=-119.1426,34.7812,-119.0945,34.8394&layer=mapquest&marker=34.81261,-119.12715</a>
" style="border: 1px solid black"><br>
<dd></iframe><br><br>
<dd>I guess I could futz with the HTML and setup my own server to be in
the middle and have it add the attribution but that is way more than you
can expect the average user to do.<br>

<dd>> I talked with someone at

there is<br>

great.<br>
