Thank you Simon !

Like many others, I hardly agree on 2 things:

- the 10.000m2 limit, this is completely artificial

- the mobile rule allowing an interaction to access the attribution


The minimal "(C) OpenStreetMap" attribution requires very few pixels, 
less than 150. When this space is available, direct attribution should 
be there, whatever the size of the screen or type of device.

When multiple attributions are required (from OpenStreetMap and others) 
and space is limited, a single "Copyright" with link or interaction 
could replace it. This eliminates the battle for screen space between 
Mapbox logo vs OpenStreetMap (because we're indirectly talking of that) 
and moves both at the same attribution level.

Setting such a fixed limit could also solve the thumbnail problem... a 
150px wide image can't deliver so much map data...
