[OSM-talk] remove the suggestion to credit "contributors"

Since cc-by-sa 2.0 times, the suggestion to credit OSM was "© OpenStreetMap
contributors", but from the current legal situation (all necessary rights
granted to the OSMF) it wouldn't be necessary to credit the contributors.

What about removing this, so that the required credit becomes "©
OpenStreetMap" (it could also be © OpenStreetMapFoundation, but maybe "©
OpenStreetMap" would be sufficient, given that OpenStreetMap is a brand
owned by the OpenStreetMapFoundation)?

It would make the credits more concise, and make it easier to have full
credits on smaller screen sizes.

Cheers
Martin
