[Osmf-talk] OSM fair use examples

[ce-test, qualified testing bv - Gert Gremmen]

Basically, we don't care really about attributes, licenses 
and the rest. We will not and cannot enforce our own
license, so why should we discuss about it ?

Users of our data that are honest will respect our
work and attribute whatever we ask (if reasonable),
Users that are not will ignore our license and get away with it!
Or will you Sam, or Tom, pay the legal consequences of enforcing our license.

Be realistic and stop spoiling efforts
into discussion licenses and attributes.... until
we can challenge the market ! And that will never happen, I hope!

Make OSM Public Domain and it will grow even faster.

We don't care exactly where the user chooses to put the attribution or 
what it looks like so long as they meet the terms of the license. Indeed 
the license doesn't allow us to require the attribution to be put in a 
specific place or form.

As the copyright page you pointed at says, all the license requires is 
that you "give the Original Author credit reasonable to the medium or 
means You are utilising" so the precise form of the credit will always 
depends on what you are doing. Even once the form is determined we have 
no right to insist on it being overlayed on any map (as against beside 
it say).
