Hello,

Sorry for the multi-posting.
I posted this around 1 month ago, but unfortunately, I could not get
feedback...

Some Japanese community members are discussing the detailed meaning of
wording in the Attribution Guidelines.

The target wording is “to the extent possible” in the merchandise section.
Which is the better interpretation?

* Member A: Attribution on the product itself is a ‘Better to have’ clause.
It is necessary to state that OpenStreetMap data is used in packaging,
sales websites, tags, etc., but attribution to the product itself is not
necessarily mandatory.
* Member B: Attribution on the product itself is mandatory and should
almost always be implemented, except in special cases such as when the
product itself is too tiny.

I would be very happy to receive your comments.

Best regards
