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

[Nuno Caldeira]

Hi highly doubt that's even "defacing" a website. Google does it

Attribute or leave it.

I too applause OSM FR attitude towards these license infringement. Seems,
judging by the previous board denial to cease Facebook rights under ODbL
that I requested last year, OSM FR is actually taking action instead of
delaying action like OSMF does (even towards their corporate members to
which we should be the firsts to show support to OSM by proudly
attributing).
