+ Specifically for using a screenshot from OpenStreetMap directly in your book, publication, film or TV show, you do not need to ask for permission as OpenStreetMap is open source. Refer to the %{attribution_guidelines_link} as well as the examples at %{attribution_example_1_link} and %{attribution_example_2_link}
or we could remove that altogether, just "you do not need to ask for permission. Refer to..." I'm fine either way, no strong preference.
