We're building a mobile application (Android, iOS) for tourists coming to Poland. We would like to cover 5 biggest cities, and use OSM as our map source. On this source, we would display our own POI. The question is: (1) can we do it (license-wise); (2) and - as we do this - will the whole application be subjected to Attribution-ShareAlike 2.0 Generic (CC BY-SA 2.0) license? Thanks upfront for the answers! |

Also bear in mind that if by "OpenStreetMap maps" you mean the tile server used for the slippy map, a usage policy applies which states that downloading tiles for offline use is strongly discourages and likely to get your app banned from the tile servers.

Thanks for the answer :-) And - if we used offline maps in our application? (e.g.: we make an app, that has maps for various cities already included within the app, so that the user downloads an app from our own server and uses the app offline)?

For offline mapps you have to use another tile server or set up your own.

... or you can use vestor maps that don't need so much space on a device like tile files. Have a look at Navit, ZANavi, Gosmore, OsmAnd, Mapfactor Navigator free, NaviPOWM to name but a few.
