+        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}

I have updated it to "open for all to use". There's the valid concern that people may stop reading there and just use without attribution, but I'm hoping that it being followed immediately by "Refer to the Attribution Guidelines..." should be enough to avoid this.
