Just wanted to share this since I didn't find anything on lemmy about this. It's a pretty cool open-source project that I got introduced to while investigating a google maps / mapbox open-source alternatives for globe representation on the web.

Sorry if it doesn't fit into this community - didn't find a better community to post this and the sidebar says "OSM related software" posts are ok.

Here is a link to their website with examples: https://www.openglobus.org/

Thanks for the clarification on that rule! And sad to hear that people don't always give OSM the credit it deserves...

Oh, Apple gives the attribution when needed. Rather, the specific article posted here didn't mention it (I think the author wasn't aware of it and/or it didn't matter for the article)

Ah okay! Atleast the big tech giant gives credit!
