[OSM-talk] #AttributionIsNotOptional experiment on OSM France tile servers

[Mario Frasca]

Hi Michael and Christian,

I don't know if there's any other way than going through imagemagick, if 
that's the only way, then sure it would cause extra work on (y)our 
servers.  if that's too much, let the server manager measure and decide.

my approach was trying to find a solution to the problem raised by Simon 
Poole, not to deface any web site relying on OSM.  or we would put the 
wrongdoing on our side.

but then, that was what just »I would probably do« … maybe after half an 
hour spent on trying to do it this way, I would fall back to Christian's 
way.

"whatever works"

btw, Christian, you are measuring the effects of your action, and the 
timings.  you started with 20 "abusers", you got immediate effect on 
some, then you added the email address in the tile, and got more 
results, how far are you now?  and what further steps does your team plan?

ciao,

Mario
