In a similar experience, I went to usatoday.com for a news story a year ago
and all I saw see was terms of service.  That's not very good product
placement or mind share for OSM.  I am happy to say that usatoday.com has
the new attribution that Alex talks about. Thanks for the changes.  In the
case of KDVR map, a MapBox - OSM at the very bottom of the screen verses
the current MapBox only logo would have been a great improvement all along.

I see two small improvements to the current MapBox changes.  One is the new
hyper link.  If you click over the word OpenStreetMap of the
 "OpenStreetMap improve this map" link, then you still go to the MapBox
about maps link.  Adding OSM to the rest of the "improve this map" link
would fix the problem.  I don't think most users will slide all the way to
the right as there's no clear indication where one link begins and the
other one ends.  The copyright symbol provides more of a break between the
two links.

The second improvement would be on the https://www.mapbox.com/about/maps/
page.  A big blue button next to the "OpenStreetMap contributors" section
like the MapBox button at the bottom bottom of the page would be a big
improvement.  That new button would take a person to the "Improve this map
page".

Thanks,
Greg
