Seems like a slap in the face to all of the OSM developers to use an entirely Free stack with a proprietary veneer on it.

Particularly since the author does not appear to be meeting their burden under the OpenStreetMap license.

"You are free to copy, distribute, transmit and adapt our data, as long as you credit OpenStreetMap and its contributors."[0]

"We require that you use the credit “© OpenStreetMap contributors”."

"For a browsable electronic map, the credit should appear in the corner of the map. For example:"

As I switched through the different layers when viewing a map, the attribution changed, correctly reflecting the data sources.

There might be a bug or two to work out, but they clearly aren't ignoring attribution.

Sorry, the "contributors" word was missing, I've updated the footers. On all the 3rd party maps I've used whatever was required in their guidelines.

You may want to check if you need `contributors` to the OSM part of the Thunderforest ones as well. Not sure if the requirements are different there or not.

Thanks, I've checked it and changed it!
