[Osmf-talk] Websites using OSMF tile servers without attribution can now be easily reported

[Mateusz Konieczny]

this is mirror of 
https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/websites-using-osmf-tile-servers-without-attribution-can-now-be-easily-reported/107952

https://github.com/openstreetmap/tile-attribution/issues can be now
used to report cases where OSMF tile servers are used, but attribution
to OSM is missing.

Listing there requires first sending a message to the entity:
https://osmfoundation.org/wiki/Licence/Attribution_Reminder_Templates

Once the case is reviewed and its validity is confirmed, this will
result in the OSMF tile servers being unavailable for them.

If the OSMF tile servers are not used, this reporting mechanism is not
applicable. This can be checked with the network panel (
https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/devtools-user/network_monitor/index.html
). If unsure, please report the problem at the Lacking proper
attribution (
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Lacking_proper_attribution ) page
at the OSM Wiki. It is covering all kinds of cases of attribution
issues. Polite email to whoever uses OSM data without proper
attribution is still useful.

Help with educating people about OSM attribution requirements is
welcome and helpful and reporting cases where it has not resulted in
improvements is also encouraged. I listed some cases which I am aware
of, there were also reports from other people including a case where
blocking access to our tile servers resulted in a quick fix (
https://github.com/openstreetmap/tile-attribution/issues/8 ).

(this is an official OSMF announcement, consulted with other board
members)
