Amritji,

Thanks a lot for the responses.
I m using the syntax mentioned which is similar with leaflet and mapbox to
pull openstreetmap in web app. As I heard, leaflet is free but confused
about mapbox which is also a part of openstreetmap. This is my confusion.
Can I use the above mentioned syntax freely or not. Kindly request to
reply.

Thanks a lot.
