It happens with some map style repositories, such as [this fork of OSM Carto](https://imagico.de/blog/en/on-open-map-design-licensing/) and [Mapbox’s original vector styles](https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-styles/blob/c4b34ab336fdb70be489fa018f2fe9e6f341b4f5/LICENSE.md), but these projects are known primarily for their visual output. Some vector tile schemas license “cartographic design” separately from the code, such as [OpenMapTiles](https://github.com/openmaptiles/openmaptiles/blob/f70ae783b286e362431efc53a07dfa35472be2bd/LICENSE.md), in order to require attribution in the finished product. Occasionally I’ve seen website projects separately license graphical elements within, but I don’t know of any OSM-related examples off the top of my head.
