JPG based on OSM map for commercial use

1

Hi,

I want to prepare a chart in R Studio using library with access to Open Street Map. A final chart will be heavily modified (coloured) map and exported to jpg file, then put into commercial brochure/raport. Is this free or must I put a reference (credit) to OSM?

Thanks for clarifying, B.

IANAL, but crediting OSM in the image should be sufficient - see e.g. the image at https://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright , specifically this: https://www.openstreetmap.org/assets/attribution_example-937610fe671db6f42d3666d91fd7a1b1035d0df26066b890e4c007a314fc2da3.png

meta @Piskvor: that's an "answer", could you please post it as such? (conversion does not work due to technical problems)

It is free and you must put attribution. See our wiki page on the license for details.
