Hi,
I work for a government agency and intend to use OpenStreetMap data - and I am confused with what is required for the attribution.
I intend to produce a large number of static PDF reports (~2000), each with a 500x600 pixel map (.png format). The map is simple, and shows 1 polygon sitting on top of the OpenStreetMap tiles.
I do not know exactly what needs to be written, and I’d like to get this right. Please forgive me, this is my first time using open data and needing to attribute it.
When I look at https://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright it seems “© OpenStreetMap.org contributors” would be acceptable - but it also >suggests< to refer readers to opendatacommons.org, also. Is this required?
When I look at https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Licence/Attribution_Guidelines … it says, … a whole lot. I wish it gave examples for me to copy and paste But, it refers to the “© OpenStreetMap.org contributors”-style attribution as historical.
Currently, I have this paragraph immediately below the 500x600 map:
I hope and think that this is acceptable, but … am I missing something? Have I included too much? Could this be written in a shorter form and still be acceptable?
