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

[Phil Wyatt]

Hi Folks,

 

After the standard email, the following page has now been fixed and the company is reviewing their entire website for correct attribution where OSM data has been used.

Cheers - Phil

If you read this https://blog.mapbox.com/19-amazing-maps-from-2019-c2db8f2b6b9f you can see several clients of them that are not complying. Example https://parallel.co.uk/netherlands/#14.23/52.34361/4.85248/0/40 they credited us as OSM  and no notice of what the license is or hyperlink.

 

But still they are "amazing" maps that are not complying with OSM license. See how many of those actually do comply

I have noted that on wider screens the correct attribution is shown but as screen size gets smaller it MAY disappear (to behind the I Icon or similar) on SOME sites or SOME operating systems. I think the size is 600 pixels or thereabouts. Is this the "issue" you really want resolved? Very easy to test on any PC screen. If I rotate my mobile device the full attribution is often there whilst behind some icon in portrait mode.

actually this kind of attribution is provided by mapbox’s frameworks like mapbox-gl-js and if you (as a developer) do not implement your own attribution mechanism you will automatically get (comparatively small) OpenStreetMap attribution that hides behind an i while the (bigger) mapbox logo in the left corner will stay there at any screen width.

WRT an OpenStreetMap provided textmark/icon: this was proposed by mapbox years ago and at the time rejected.

Cheers Martin
