This would only be useful if there is a chain to follow it back to
OSM, this is specific to OS/Nearmap type situations, they don't
require explicit attributions with map tiles, but they do require
attribution can be found, and while OSM offers to attribute on their
website, downstream may not be subject to the same requirements which
is where clause 3 breaks or contradicts clause 4.
