[OSM-talk] [Osmf-talk] Attribution guideline status update

[Nuno Caldeira]

@Rihards Thanks. I will try to do that documentation over the holidays.

@Phil Wyatt don't get me wrong, but adding something there is useless. i 
added Facebook there over one year ago. They don't have shame, no point 
to add companies there, when there's sites and companies that been there 
for years without real consequence. It's just a wiki page that most 
won't ever acknowledge.

As an xmas bonus, here's another Facebook company (via Mapbox), Snapchat 
that is using OSM without attribution requirements (funnily there's 
plenty of space for a reasonable and visible calculated mapbox logo and 
text). They probably don't know, nor that they have been asked to comply 
over a year ago, nor have agreed with the license in every aspect of it 
when stated using OSM data, nor read Mapbox TOS, or Mapbox been informed 
on these repeated offenders, nor read the multiples reports in mailing 
lists, nor that they had a employee that ran for OSMF board.

https://map.snapchat.com/

Let's continue to be hypocrites and pretend nothing is going on for over 
a year with these two companies that are corporate members of OSMF and 
should be the first ones to give examples. Enough with excuses.


Happy holidays.
