it's not exactly the largest ever user of OSM, being geeks with latest toys,
but our supporters need to let the world know they are using our data
the wiki entry is not the biggest problem, as it doesn't actually contain
data,
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Om_2008.8_Locations
but
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Om_2008.8_Locations#Download_Tiles_of_a_Region_.28Om2008.9.29
I believe that this should mention the licence and have a link - I can do this
if others here agree
but the actual downloaded data through an apt-get type package manager doesn't
have attribution
I hope that what I've put on the bug tracker meets the approval of legal-talk
where
Data from OpenStreetMap.org, licenced CC-by-SA.
would be an additional line seen at the time of downloading the software.
The hardware is miniature linux devices, and putting anything longwinded is
going to meet with resistance.

#2044: om-locations - map licensing
---------------------+------------------------------------------------------

---------------------+------------------------------------------------------
The maps from OpenStreetMap used in om-locations require attribution
according to the CC-by-SA licence.
The wiki page indicates that the maps come from OSM. There does need to be
indication with the downloaded maps that they are from OSM.
May I suggest that in the package information which is read prior to
download through assassin this information is included
for example
om-maps-london
Openmoko Software 20080430-r0
Download size 17156KB
Map of London, for use with Locations application.
Data from OpenStreetMap.org, licenced CC-by-SA.
