Surely there's nothing wrong with using OSM as one of your primary map data sources? As far as I know, Mapy.cz uses several sources in the Czechoslovak territory, although abroad, perhaps quite a bit fewer of them are being used.

There's nothing wrong with it - it's just not giving credit back properly that I have an issue with.

Take this for example, which got some front page news time in the UK:

- https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2020/dec/27/walk-th...

- https://www.theguardian.com/travel/2020/jun/13/how-the-slow-...

- https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-54562137

Pretty much the entire thing is taken from OSM and there isn't a single mention of that on any of those pages.

(and as I understand it, Slow Ways haven't contributed back their changes to OSM which is required by the OSM license).
