[OSM-talk] OpenMaps App Blocked By OpenStreetMap

[Mike Dupont]

We asked for permission to host osm tiles and they gladly gave it
( "internetarchive" <info at archive.org>, )

There are license restrictions creative commons and public domain

you can see the hardware here.

@frederik, I have not looked at the tiles in a while, maybe there is a bug
in the js, but I have never had problems with files hosted there.
Also if we are talking about hosting tiles for people to download, I think
it is a great solution, that does not mean you have to host the tiles from
osm.org on there for displaying.

I am just saying there are options for hosting tiles out there.
