<div id="yiv945089321"><div dir="ltr"><div style="">Hello everyone -</div><div style=""><br></div><div style="">I'd love to start pushing again on the OSM attribution mark.</div><div><br></div><div>This is an updated proposal based on an initial RFC from earlier this year titled "Contributor Mark" [1, 2]. Sorry for the delay in following up with adjustments based on feedback on the original thread. <br>
</div><div><br></div><div>Again, the goal of this proposal is to draw more attention to OpenStreetMap wherever it's used by introducing a visually compelling, linked symbol for placement on OSM-based works and by explaining OpenStreetMap better at the place where this symbol links to.</div>
<div><br></div><div style="">Looking forward to your feedback. I'll also be reaching out to corresponding working groups and OSMF to see how we can move this forward.</div><div><br></div><div>Concretely, this RFC proposes</div>
<div><br></div><div>1. Replace current credit "© OpenStreetMap Contributors" with a visual mark where possible</div><div>2. Update `<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://openstreetmap.org/copyright%60">openstreetmap.org/copyright`</a> to explain better OSM, to invite visitors to join and to allow creators of derivative work to link back to their sites.</div>
<div><br></div><div>The update to the original RFC brings 4 key changes: </div><div><br></div><div>1. Rename the proposal from 'Contributor Mark' to 'Attribution Mark'</div><div>2. A completely redesigned mark, containing the letters "OSM"</div>
<div>3. A completely redesigned `/copyright` page, the page the mark links to. It is much closer to today's `/copyright`</div><div>4. The mark is an alternative to "© OpenStreetMap Contributors". Only where the mark can't be used, "© OpenStreetMap Contributors" may be used.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Please read up on all details on the newly created RFC page:</div><div><br></div><div>http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/RFC_Attribution_Mark</div>
