Is that a concern from a legal standpoint or an attempt to keep a good relationship between OSM and Refill (or any other network?)
As a consumer, I’m looking for a place to refill my bottle, I’m not so concerned about which network the establishment is part of. Maybe I missed it, but I can’t remember any discuss from the proposal about why drink_water:refill:network was needed, maybe Stuart can clarify?

But could the same thing be said about most brand related tags in OSM?

Of course, I certainly didn’t mean to suggest it as a requirement but more of an optional extension that would serve to both give users greater detail and help contributors ‘prove’ that they were not copy Refills data.
