Yup, totally OSM data. Going to add attribution to them in our Our Story section right now. Totally missed that, but happy to give credit where credit is due. T

Did you use TileMill for the styling or something else?

  No, we actually hand-designed all of our styles in XML and generated all images from the pure data in python.

  Seems like there is wiggle room there, but we're not opposed to dropping the OpenStreepMap copywrite into the bottom corner of the map.

    In theory, if your maps help advertise OSM, contributions will increase, helping OSM and ... your future maps :)

  Produced Work is an output that uses but does not alter the OSM data. So you can use an OSM database with your own data overlaid on top. These lovely paper prints would be a produced work. One basically does not change the OSM data, you just produce things with it. Derived database is where you adapt the OSM data with your own data, or perform some kind of manipulation of the data For example, vector simplification or calculating the road lengths and adding that into the data, or merging addresses from one dataset with the polygons from OSM.

So if you are using OSM data, why not non-US cities as well?
