[OSM-talk] The movie Eye in the Sky credits OpenStreetMap

[Simon Poole]

“© OpenStreetMap contributors” has been the suggested attribtion text
since day one post licence change (see
http://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright and
http://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Licence/Licence_and_Legal_FAQ ).
While you could argue that the OSMF is wrong headed to ask for that, you
defintely can't complain about the productions.
