[OSM-talk] Commercial service using OSM data lack attribution, needed on prints too?

Hello,

A commercial printing service in the Netherlands is using OpenStreetMap 
data without any form of attribution. I would like to send the owner a 
message concerning this oversight.

It shouldn't be too onerous to add some attribution to his website (our 
work makes it possible for the owner to live as a 'digital nomad' on 
Bali apparently), but I was wondering what our licence requires for the 
prints (i.e., derivative works) you can generate and purchase on this 
website:

https://poster.printmijnstad.nl/editor/city

(Look at any area you've mapped and you'll see that this 
OpenStreetMap-data.)

Does our licence require a "© OpenStreetMap contributors" on each print 
he sells containing OSM data?

Or can he suffice with clearly stating that the map data used on those 
prints is "© OpenStreetMap contributors" (with a link) on the checkout 
page and FAQ?

Kind regards,

Jeroen Hoek
