[Osmf-talk] attribution: board letter to facebook

Yes mapbox is providing the vector tiles for the site, and the JS
framework to display them, but it is clearly the UNHCR that is
responsible for not displaying attribution. Note that the detailed maps
(see for example https://data2.unhcr.org/en/situations/mediterranean )
contain road geometries from OSM (it seems they are using mapbox street
vector tiles).

And naturally the really big question is, what does this all have to do
with Facebook?
