[OSM-talk] RFC updated: OSM Attribution Mark (was: contributor mark)

[Pieren]

One or two points:
- "OSM" abbreviation is not so clear as "OpenStreetMap" and not so popular
yet that everyone will understand immediately what it is but, by chance,
osm.org is pointing to the right site (so, displaying OSM instead of
OpenStreetMap is not that bad).
- there is no legal obligation to display the attribution on slippy maps
using OSM. We have seen plenty of examples where OSM is attributed in some
obscure "legal" or "copyright" page you never read if you are not searching
for it. And this complies with the license. So, "OpenStreetMap
contributors" is surely the best solution but this mark is surely better
than nothing !
I would even appreciate if the license could be changed and define the
attribution in text or mark as mandatory on maps.
