My point is, why should other sites be forced into attribution even
OSM-F isn't willing to give it's own contributors, nor make it easy
for people to find it without it being pointed out.

> That not all people who contributed that data agree to the odbl? No, but the vast majority of active mappers did. But they _all_ submitted it to a site under the understanding of a license that would attribute that work to "OpenStreetMap". I didn't think that was even being called into question. Or will you just call anything into question to keep the disruption going?

You seem to be the one disrupting things, as far as I'm concerned I
attributed to FOSM who in turn attributes their sources.

> More importantly, if "f"osm is so much more legitimate and important than OpenStreetMap, why are you still over here taking a dump on "our" list?

You're the one making a big song and dance about things.
