+1

Not wanting to start an edit war over the z17 style sheets, I have  
built a mechanism into t at h by which everyone can control whether (and  
how) they're attributed on z17. If you don't want your name on the  
tiles, modify

/applications/rendering/tilesAtHome/attribution.txt

and put something like

yourScreenName=

in there. That's it. I offer to do that on request for those without  
SVN access. - I'd rather see the (c) stuff go away completely but  
removing *my* (c) attributions is a good start.

Bye
Frederik
