Lacking proper attribution

- For Applications doing mass downloads, see Tile usage policy.
This page lists examples of usage of OpenStreetMap data without proper attribution as required by the OpenStreetMap License. This page relies on people noticing and reporting violations.
The problem is normally one of a simple oversight, the publisher does not understand what is required, or attribution is not given correctly. There is also the possibility of wilful misrepresentation. In many instances the violation is of minor significance to the project but it is reasonable for the community to expect all users of the data to respect the requirements. There may also be major violations where the publisher may not respond to an approach by the community and the Foundation may need to contact the author.
We require that OpenStreetMap is credited, and that the users are made aware of our license (usually by means of a link to osm.org/copyright).
For more information see the Legal FAQ.
Process
These local chapters offer to handle your report of a violation (follow the link for instructions): France GitHub · Italy · Spain GitHub · ...
If you want to handle the violation by yourself, follow these steps.
- First, check if the usage of OSM data is substantial. See the Substantial Guideline for details about the definition of "substantial" used by the OSM Foundation. If the usage of OSM is substantial, continue with the next steps. If you are not sure, ask other people on a suitable mailing list (e.g. talk-de for Germany), on IRC or at the forum.
- Add an entry to the bottom of the table below. If you are unsure about the violation, discuss it on one of our common communication channels (see above). If you are sure, you can report it at forum or a mailing list, too.
- In case that the URL is listed at Wikimedia Meta-Wiki's spam blacklist, you will not be able to insert it here. Please contact a wiki administrator, they are immune against the spam blacklist and they can also add an entry to this wiki's spam whitelist.
- Contact the publisher with a suitable pleasant and non-threatening email and update the record with the date you've contacted them.
- Wait for a response for a suitable period.
- If request was ignored and they use OSMF tile servers reporting at https://github.com/openstreetmap/tile-attribution is a viable recourse
- If that does not create the desired response then you can follow up with a second attempt to contact the publisher.
- If that does not work and the violation is considered serious then report it, if not done yet, at forum or a suitable mailing list, otherwise the Foundation should be contacted, maybe legal(at)osmfoundation.org.
- Once the attribution has been fixed or the page is no longer accessible, please move the entry to the List of usages where attribution has been fixed or case is obsoleted
To discuss a certain use before adding it to the list, consider doing so at forum, a suitable mailing list talk or a suitable national mailing list (e.g. talk-de for Germany). It is not suggested discussing cases at the discussion page because very few people read there.
If OpenStreetMap is being used through a third-party service, that service may also provide a way to report attribution issues. For example, issues involving Mapbox customers can be reported by filling out this form.
Hints to mappers
Be gentle! We are a project for providing free maps and not to argue with somebody about legal issues. It doesn't help anybody to be aggressive and insulting. This could give OSM a bad image. Don't be too correct. If they give it their best then it is ok.
Before taking any steps, take a moment to consider whether attribution is worth the potential cost to OSM in the form of lost goodwill, bad PR or people switching to more relaxed map providers. For low-visibility, one-off publications (birthday invites, powerpoint slides presented to a small audience, random social media posts, ...), this may not be the case.

2023-07-26 - Mateusz Konieczny | Some mappers of Venezuela have detected that many articles-pages in the French Wikipedia, referring to that country, have been using a kind of "bot" that extracts information from the OpenStreetMap data and indexes them to build articles with them. Without giving any reference to OSM. It happens especially in articles about the administrative divisions of that country, such as these: Where towns or neighborhoods of a city, are listed that we can detect come from OSM data because they have certain words that only appear in OSM. From https://fr.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cachamay&diff=prev&oldid=194581966 edits and history it appears to be human-edited not made by an automated bot. | |

2024-11-22 | The County Council has used OSM based maps in several of their publications (for example here) without any attribution and have yet to respond to any communication.
2024-10-17 No response to first email after two weeks. 2024-10-31 Second email with reminder and link to this page. Reply the same day promising to reply in more detail early the next week. 2024-11-04 Email from Caitríona O'Sullivan, Executive Planner, promising that attribution will be added to map in pdf drafted by O’Mahony Pike by next week and "Table of contents page in that document will be amended to state “Map data from OpenStreetMap”". 2024-11-08 "Map data from OpenStreetMap" added in the TOC beneath a map that is not based on OSM. Still no attribution on the actual map that is based on OSM. 2024-11-22 "Map data from OpenStreetMap" replaced with "Some map data from OpenStreetMap (openstreetmap.org/copyright), and also from CYAL50345408 © National Mapping Division of Tailte Éireann" in the TOC, no attribution on the maps document pages 9, 18, 21, 26, 29, 30, 31, 32 and 33 themselves, but it was suggested they do that in in future documents for cases where newspapers and other distributors screenshot the maps without consulting the TOC and thus re-sharing without attribution. | |

2025-02-24 | Published four trail maps of Irish towns (Dunboyne, Navan, Cappoquin, Waterford - last checked Feb 24 2025) with map data based on OSM without attribution. Upon being contacted and asked to fix it, they replied that they would look into it. After one month of not hearing from them, they were again contacted. The reply was that they were looking into changing the base map to the state body's mapping service (which means they prefer to drag it out AND pay license fees). No changes in the already published documents as of 24 Feb 2025, and no reply to email from Dec 16 2024. New reminder sent Feb 24 2025. Reply from them Feb 25 saying that they "are working with our graphic designers to resolve this issue and will be in touch to let you know when the maps have been updated". | |
