I agree with this. Attribution isn't terribly important here. However, I
can not see anywhere on openstreetmap.org that the map is under a free
license, which I think is way more important.
Yes, it's called OpenStreetMap, but a lot of projects are deceptively
named to give the impression of openness while they're anything but.
