[Osmf-talk] attribution: board letter to facebook

[Nuno Caldeira]

I prefer attribution visibly as mentioned here by OSMF 
https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Licence/Licence_and_Legal_FAQ#How_should_I_attribute_you.3F 
clear, visible and in the corner of the map. not behing "i" that 1% will 
click on...if they manage to it hit...which isa bit hard on mobile 
devices TBH.
