Meanwhile, Windy's maps use OpenStreetMap data, but don't give OSM the required attribution.

That's against OSM's licence and seriously not cool.




They have not fixed it for almost 3 years - except for a really really tiny attribution only in web that too almost invisible. I challenge you to find it.

This is seriously not cool.


They've fixed it in the web, mobile will be fixed in the new release according to the linked comment. Maybe threaten to sue them if this is a priority for you.


They did not fix it by putting only "© OpenStreetMap".

From https://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright/en

> How to credit OpenStreetMap

> We require that you use the credit “© OpenStreetMap contributors”.

Trivial - it's in the bottom right corner. It's easy to find if you're looking for it. The text is very small and has a bit less contrast than the one on Google Maps.


They also steal the lightning data too... https://community.windy.com/topic/6865/lightning-tracker/3
