[OSM-talk] Use of OSM data without attribution

[stevea]

Thanks very much you two:  I've often meant to do something about alltrails' seeming / actual lack of attribution to OSM (if it exists, I haven't found it either) and something always seems to creep up and prevent me from taking action.  These are most assuredly "our" (OSM's / mine, others in OSM) data.  Yea:  let's get this ball rolling and a proper OSM attribution!

I am not talking about the "OSM Map Layer" that they offer, but rather the default "AllTrails Map Layer."  At the very least it appears that the trails on that layer come from OSM.  I know that because I have entered some rather obscure informal trails in OSMe, and they show up in AllTrails just as I entered them in OSM.
