There are two things that Apple should do in order to avoid being viewed as a jerk once again. Put in the credit to OpenStreetMap and make a sizable donation to the OpenStreetMaps Foundation.


Apple must give attribution, not to be nice, but to avoid being guilty of copyright infringment.


Not only credit to OSM. They would have to credit every single contributor (whos data is used).


Not really. Yes the Licence is CC-BY-SA, but "OpenStreetMap Contributors" is accepted form. (cf. http://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright )


Thanks for clarification.
