The Apple way of attribution was for many years a good example for hiding the attribution in a haystack while maybe formally satisfying  the legal requirements. I just noticed they now attribute to Tomtom, c OpenStreetMap and other data providers (i.e. one screen before, osm is the link) and have put OpenStreetMap also in bold on top of the sources list (well, almost, it’s below tomtom).

if we leave out global and continental scale maps (which are used only in a tiny fraction of the actual usecases, and which can typically be created from  public domain data anyway), the actual list of sources for a given map view will be much smaller than the whole set of sources used for the complete product
