[Mateusz Konieczny]

Not a lawyer, but I will try to answer obvious ones.

No, there is no difference as far as copyright is concerned.

>  The final format for displaying data is the pins of organizations in the custom (our) design, which we place on a third-party map, with the ability to do so under license. Users can find out what type of organization and what kind of organization, filter organizations on the map, i.e., for example, view only hospitals. We assume to take and reflect on the map only socially significant objects on the map - schools, kindergartens, sports institutions, hospitals and shops (a fairly small number of objects). Is this obvious limits to the usefulness?

"Is this obvious limits to the usefulness?" - not sure what kind of legal question is asked here.

>  
> If we allow to use the specified data on our site, which we put on a map, and under the terms of the purpose is not to extract the data, but only for the user to see these data, i.e. the goal is to bring it to the end user as shown in the example with Garmin maps on the site at the link>  > https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Open_Data_License/Produced_Work_-_Guideline>  > and it says it's Produced Work. In our situation, is this also a Produced Work?

Not a lawyer, so not sure about usefulness of my advise here. (feel free to replay asking me to answer and
I will do this but..)

> And I would like to clarify about attribution. The guideline states that we should indicate that we are contributors and provide a link to distribution under the ODbL license, on the other hand, for Produced Work in clause 4.3. license ODbL is written a little differently and that is not consistent with the logic written in guidline.

What exactly is the problem?

> Based on this, the question arises whether it is enough that we specify that the map simply contains information from the OSM as indicated at the beginning of paragraph 4.3?
>
Visible text indicating that markers are from OSM is certainly necessary.
