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

[Phil Wyatt]

Hi Jeroen,

The latest guidelines are here

https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Licence/Attribution_Guidelines

Its probably a combination of "static images" and "printed Material". Safe to say that either way an attribution is required


Cheers - Phil

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
