[talk-au] OSM Attribution Q

[forster at ozonline.com.au]

Hi
A related case, the Victorian government seems to be using OSM without  
attribution. Again it is Matchbox. I have written to the government a  
couple of times, the replies have been polite but no result, i think  
its just too hard for them. If talking to Matchbox, please mention  
this one.

Hi
I have written to you once already, I think by the Contact us web form  
around June 4th.

The map at
https://engage.vic.gov.au/CardiniaCkParklands
is in breach of copyright. Matchbox copyright is acknowledged by you  
but though they may
hold the rights to the satellite image they are not the owner of the  
text labels. The
text labels are copyright Open Street Map.

See https://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright for instructions

I ask that you immediately either remove the map or credit the  
copyright holder in the
specified manner.

Thanks
