Dear Oel Schneider GmbH,
We OpenStreetMap contributors are very proud to see that you are using
our work at https://www.oelschneider.de/saarbruecken-rodenhof.html .
Many people and systems, including your use as a locator map would not
be possible without the project’s data. Indeed, the OpenStreetMap
project’s goal is to freely provide the best data for accurate and
readable backround maps. OpenStreetMap owes its success to our millions
of volunteers who share our vision and invest their time to maintain
and improve the data. Many became contributors after starting as users.
While most OSM-based maps are independently deployed, operators
recognise the benefit of highlighting their use of OpenStreetMap. We
believe end users realise that they can improve their experience by
improving the map data. Thus, there are compelling reasons to attribute
OpenStreetMap, even beyond the legal obligation. Unfortunately
https://www.oelschneider.de/saarbruecken-rodenhof.html does not provide
this required attribution.

You use our data in the maps displayed at
https://www.oelschneider.de/saarbruecken-rodenhof.html . We are happy
to see our data used, and we hope uses such as yours can help attract
more contributors to the map. We very much regret that the obligatory
attribution of OpenStreetMap is missing from your maps. Just as you
would credit a photographer when using his or her images, you are
required to do the same when you use OpenStreetMap data. Our licence,
although “Free and Open” carries a small number of conditions, one of
which is the requirement to provide correct attribution. As noted in
our Attribution Guidelines (
https://osmfoundation.org/wiki/Licence/Attribution_Guidelines ) the
credit can appear in a corner of the map. While the lower right corner
is traditional, any corner of the map is acceptable. Alternatively, the
attribution may be placed adjacent to the map or on a splash screen or
pop-up shown when a user starts the app, device, website, etc. We are
sure that you will recognise the importance of rectifying this
oversight and bringing
https://www.oelschneider.de/saarbruecken-rodenhof.html into compliance
with the licence under which our data is made available to you.
Remember, not only is this a legal condition of your use of OSM, it
also respects the volunteers who made your map and it helps encourage
your users to improve it.   Full details on how to attribute
OpenStreetMap can be found in the Attribution Guidelines.
