Don't forget that we display a Bing logo in Potlatch and Josm that is a lot
bigger than that tiny mq icon.
A user who can't distinguish OSM from MQ will likely also confuse bing maps
with OSM.
"Isn't OSM that map maker project from Bing?"
So let's write down clearly what type of attribution we accept and what
not. Then apply these rules to all content that is embedded on the osm.org
website.
If we accept bing logos, why not mq? What if Andy also wants to show a logo?
