== How should I attribute you? ==
<div style="border:1px solid black;background-color:#DDDDFF;padding:5px;"><b>Our requested attribution is "© OpenStreetMap contributors".</b><br/>You must make it clear that the data is available under the Open Database Licence. This can be achieved by providing a "License" or "Terms" link which links to www.openstreetmap.org/copyright or www.opendatacommons.org/licenses/odbl.</div>
We ask that you hyperlink the attribution to www.openstreetmap.org where possible. Because OpenStreetMap ''is'' its contributors, you may omit the word "contributors" if space is limited.
(If you are using map tiles supplied by us, you must also make it clear that the tiles are available under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 2.0 licence. This may also be fulfilled by linking to www.openstreetmap.org/copyright.)

Under CC BY SA, the attribution needs to appear in a place "reasonable to the medium or means you are utilising". In other words, you should expect to credit OpenStreetMap in the same way and with the same prominence as you would any other map supplier.▼

* For a '''printed map''', the credit should appear beside the map if that is where other such credits appear, and/or in the "acknowledgements" section of the publication (often at the start of a book or magazine).
* A '''video or computer''' game - on the credits page or in the game view.
* If you are producing library code that offers OpenStreetMap data or tiles, you should make sure library users are aware of these terms. We strongly recommend that you display this credit by default when your library is used.
