/sarcasm on/
it does not actually matter, as it isn't enforced anyway
/sarcasm off/

If you look at Apple maps, the attribution reads "data by TomTom and
others" (one screen away from the map) and another screen further there is
an infinite list [1], which states that data is also from OSM (2011/2012)
(no copyright attribution there, but is probably cc-by-sa 2.0 looking at
the date) and "Map data © 2014 OpenStreetMap contributors" with link to
osm.org/copyright.

I have recently tried to raise awareness, but saying that other threads
have had more engagement is an understatement:
