Hi,

I checked the about page. There's licensing information for a bunch of
software and Google maps but nothing for OSM.

Looks like it.

The area shown by the way is here:

http://mc.bbbike.org/mc/?lon=100.565099&lat=13.736474&zoom=17&num=3&mt0=nokia-map&mt1=mapnik&mt2=google-map

Is there any mentioning of OSM in the app?  Like hidden on some 'about
page' or similar?
