[OSM-legal-talk] License for Press, PR & marketing WAS [OSM-talk] OSM layer into Adobe Illustrator?

[Barnett, Phillip]

Isn't the key phrase there 'if supplied'? I still haven't seen any
mechanism for a would-be user for obtaining the names or pseudonyms of
contributors. 
In which case you can't credit them.

I think the jury's still out on that.

   "You must keep intact all copyright notices for the Work and give the
    Original Author credit reasonable to the medium or means You are
    utilizing by conveying the name (or pseudonym if applicable) of the
    Original Author if supplied"

That requires you to give credit to the Original Author (the
contributor, not OSM), and expressly states that you must convey his/her
name. Crediting OSM alone doesn't do that.

"Reasonable" might allow you to reduce the size and/or wording of the
credit, but there's no express provision here to omit it altogether.

cheers
