[OSM-talk] Attribution of OSM on nearmap.om?

[Ben Last]

"should typically" != "must" :)

But the key point is that we attribute OSM with the same prominence as
we do any other supplier.  You'll note that there is no copyright
message relating to the photomaps on the main page (for us, or any
supplier).

Cheers
