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

[Floris Looijesteijn]

I take back my earlier comments, apparently it is ok to have it behind a
link. Another website you might know also has it like this:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/

If you could also fix the StreetMap and OpenStreetMaps texts this website
will be a excellent addition to OSM.

Greetings,
