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

[· Michael Medina]

As a native English speaker this reads as complete stonewalling on Mapbox’s
part. I don’t know why OSM doesn’t just file a DMCA complaint against
Mapbox or deny them access. The OSM board should also not have to go
through the regular help channel to get answers. Mapbox should escalate
this issue to their top administrators.  I know the board likes to play
nice, but Mapbox isn’t playing nice so no reason to as far as I can tell.
