And from https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk/2019-September/thread.html#83068
Is there at least some list of rejected
feedback with explanation why?
Maybe for example my comments areincorrect and there is actually no way tofit attribution in the map 500 pixels wide
and odbl actually has exception for
mobile devices that I missed.
But currently I am unsure whatever
my comments were ignored, taken into
account and rejected as invalid or were
somehow used to improve this document
and are addressed.

I hope that things can be still fixed.
In particular the claim about 500 pixel
wide map not requiring proper attribution
really should be fixed.
And "mobile devices may have attribution after one interaction"
absolutely MUST be removed.
This part looks like written by Mapbox copyright lawyers
to legitimise their unacceptable attribution hiding.
Hiding attribution behind "i" icon
is not fulfilling ODBL.
It is clearly not enough to make clear that data is from OSM.
Allowing to keep that means that we capitulate
and allow Mapbox, maps.me, Facebook and others
to use our data without a proper attribution.
There is enough space on mobile devices
to show a proper attribution in the bottom
right corner! (or some other corner).
