I think OpenStreetMap has some great maps and I want to use them for my own web site and print publication. Who do I ask for permission to use them? asked 15 Jul '10, 10:23  Jochen Topf edited 15 Jul '10, 18:32  randomjunk |

Good news: you don't need to ask permission, it has already been granted :) OpenStreetMap is (currently) licensed as Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike 2.0 (CC-by-SA).

As stated here, you needn't ask anyone, but you should at least have somewhere "© OpenStreetMap Contributors, CC-BY-SA". It is also good if you have a hyperlink to openstreetmap.org. answered 15 Jul '10, 10:35  GranD |
