=== 1.6. What About Map Tiles? ===
OpenStreetMap is not a commercial entity and does not offer commercial map tile services. OSM map tiles are made available to support the project and community, and are funded by donation. Any use of map tiles served by the OpenStreetMap project (tile.openstreetmap.org) must observe our [https://operations.osmfoundation.org/policies/tiles/ tile usage policy]. In particular, proper '''attribution''', as described by the [[Licence/Attribution_Guidelines|Attribution Guidelines]] is '''required'''.
Of course, you can always take OSM data and deploy your own tile service. It is then likely that your tile service would be deemed a ''Produced Work'' for the purposes of the ODbL. The implications of this are set out below. Several commercial providers also offer a tile service based on OSM data.
