+<h3>How to credit OpenStreetMap</h3>
+
+<p>If you are using OpenStreetMap map images, we request that your credit reads at least "&copy; OpenStreetMap contributors, CC-BY-SA". If you are using map data only, we request "Map data &copy; OpenStreetMap contributors, CC-BY-SA".</p>
+
+<p>Where possible, OpenStreetMap should be hyperlinked to <a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/">http://www.openstreetmap.org/</a> and CC-BY-SA to <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/">http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/</a>. If you are using a medium where links are not possible (e.g. a printed work), we suggest you direct your readers to www.openstreetmap.org (perhaps by expanding 'OpenStreetMap' to this full address) and to www.creativecommons.org.</p>

+<h3>Finding out more</h3>

+<p>OSM contributors are reminded never to add data from any copyrighted sources (e.g. Google Maps or printed maps) without explicit permission from the copyright holders.</p>
+
+<p>Although OpenStreetMap is open data, we cannot provide a free-of-charge map API for third-party developers. See our <a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tile_usage_policy">Tile Usage Policy</a>.
+
+<h3>Our contributors</h3>
+
+<p>Our CC-BY-SA licence requires you to "give the Original Author credit reasonable to the medium or means You are utilizing". Individual OSM mappers do not request a credit over and above that to "OpenStreetMap contributors", but where data from a national mapping agency or other major source has been included in OpenStreetMap, it may be reasonable to credit them by directly reproducing their credit or by linking to it on this page.</p>
