"By" is not sufficient for indicating the openness of the license and © for copyright refers to closeness.

I suggest using decipherable abbreviations.
 
You could have to abbreviate : "Open Database license by OpenStreetMap contributors"  and that could be something like :

Op. licen.  OpStrtMap contrib. 

Too long? Can be ameliorated?
