That is not a healthy motivation for a "open"streetmapper.

Besides, there is no legal obligation to attribution, but
the licenses we apply ourselves.
We make our own conditions of use, and then declare that as legal stuff?
It is getting legal only once it is challenged, and as I stated before,
none of us is going to pay for legal action, in spite of some of use
that suggest so.

Were just pretenders.

I've made a start here:

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/File:Examples_of_possible_attribution.svg

But I am most certainly no graphic artist so the whole thing should really
be thrown away and re-done better.

With all this we should bear in mind that even if *we* say it is ok to
credit "OpenStreetMap contributors", a mapper could still sue a map user for
breach of license because he is not listed by name. Would we perhaps, by
suggesting clearly that "(c) OpenStreetMap contributors" is sufficient, move
ourselves into the line of fire, and users could sue us because we had them
believe that they would not be sued...?

Bye
Frederik
