[OSM-legal-talk] attributing cc by attribution data

[Robin Paulson]

there is a business listings website [1] in new zealand which allows
re-use of it's data, under a creative commons by attribution license.
they have a lot of data which is being considered for inclusion in the
osm database - mainly shops, restaurants, takeaways, police and fire
stations, etc.

during a discussion [2] around this data, the problem of how to
attribute it has come up - is there a commonly-used method for
attributing data in osm?

if not, does anyone have any ideas of how we might accomplish this?

the owner of the site has not yet specified any particular method he
requires; i would like to be able to present him with some options if
possible

there is a wiki page [3] devoted to including this data in OSM,
including a couple of ideas i had on how to do this
