[OSM-talk] Use of OSM data without attribution

AFAIK such text should be perfectly fine
as long as it is clear displayed
(not deeply hidden in weird menu,
not hidden behind basically never clicked
buttons and so on).
ODBL requires to make users aware of
source and license, it does not mandate
a specific text.

For example on my laser cut map I used
"Dane z OpenStreetMap na licencji ODBL"
as it will be used in way where Polish
would be clearly expected to be 
understood.

>> It looks like AllTrails now correctly attributes OpenStreetMap.  Those of you more familiar with the licensing might want to chime in and let me know if simply stating "(c) OpenStreetMap" instead of "(c) OpenStreetMap Contributors" is adequate (also, keep in mind that only some of their map data comes from OSM).  If it is adequate, I will send Ron a note thanking him, and starting the conversation between him and the DWG about AllTrails directing data issues directly to the DWG.
