Good luck with Mapbox trying to comply with odbl, OSMF corporate foundation
and community expectations, to their their of service and the attribution
you just quoted. They will try to close the ticket several times without
solving the issues. wall hammering.

The examples you gave were checked and as from an ethical point is what any
company or osm data user would do. Sadly, this is happening and companies
either ignore or state that odbl doesn't mention how to attribute.
Therefore this guidance
