[OSM-legal-talk] Is mail address legal at ... valid?

[Michael Collinson]

For me as a personal contributor, it looks great as is. It goes out with 
every extraction(?).  You are making attribution "credit reasonable to 
the medium" (CC-BY-SA and CC-BY). You are crediting OpenStreetMap and 
properly identifying the CC-BY-SA license. You also have a link to 
http://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright for second-level attribution ... 
we are following exactly such an approach with all direct extractions 
from OSM (Planet, CGIMap, Rails API); you should find the text in Planet 
and CGIMap already. It will work with ODbL too.

You are not crediting all 400,000 OSM registrants "in a manner at least 
as prominent as such other comparable authorship credit." [1] but ODbL 
fixes that. ;-)
