[OSM-newbies] "Data CC-BY-SA by OpenStreetMap" not being rendered in map

[Stephen Cavilia]

Now I remember why. If you create a Map without specifying any controls
you get basic navigation and attribution by default. If you specify
anything for controls, this will replace the default, i.e. the
attribution control won't be there unless you add it yourself.
