In such case it may be worth addressing, but deliberate misinterpreting of license seems
to be a poor way to achieve this.

As far as I see license is quite clear - attribution reaching a typical user is mandatory.

Not hidden somehow in way that would make more space for logo of a hosting company
or more ads.

Or placed in setting in a blob of "attributions" of all other used open data and open source
libraries, in way clearly indicating that it is not intended to be read by anyone.

The last hasn't really ever been discussed in      depth, but having a geo-data specific license instead of one that      tries to solve the general case could have some advantages.

Are this bloobers listed somewhere? I am also curious which specific maps/projects were 
affected by this composite data problem.
