Could the credits be embedded in the copyright for the software/eula/about in the App?
The GIStiquette, seems to imply that there is almost always some copyright in the footer of the map.
Could this copyright be embedded in the documentation (à la MIT) and still comply?
- Angostura 15y agoI wondered that too. I don't have the app, but I would bet that Settings > General > About > Legal Notices would be the place to look?
- ugh 15y agoI didn’t find anything. There is just the license agreement in that place which doesn’t seem to make any reference to OSM.
- Someone 15y agoDid you look where (s)he indicated or at the right place? Settings-General-About lists (zillions) of licenses for projects used in iOS itself. If I understand this correctly, this is about the new iPhoto app. The Numbers and Pages apps have an 'Acknowledgements' page in the Settings app. Is that where you looked?
- ugh 15y agoYep, that’s where I looked.
- olt 15y agoWell, the license (CC-By-SA) requires that "The credit required by this Section 4(c) may be implemented in any reasonable manner;". So it doesn't need to be in the footer of the map, when there is no footer at all ("at least as prominent as the credits for the other contributing authors"), but I think the EULA/about not reasonable. But other people might disagree. There are even people that think the whole license is invalid and that it can be used as Public Domain, because the license is for creative work and not meant to be used for databases. This is the major reason OSM is changing to a different license right now (ODbL).
