MapQuest style sheet as an MIT license (see README.md at https://github.com/MapQuest/MapQuest-Mapnik-Style)

There is no clear license for Mapnik style sheet (as thus for printable one, derived of it): http://svn.openstreetmap.org/applications/rendering/mapnik/debian/copyright

I am closing the issue.

I see, I wasn't quite sure about that. However, which machine generated the tile doesn't really matter. But then again I suppose the stylesheet is free software with a license that does not require crediting on every generated map(/tile)...

Thus I think we can probably close this issue as invalid.

Tiles?

Unlike the web-based slippy maps which are put together using tiles, these maps are rendered directly from the database as vectors. Tiles or their copyright are therefore not applicable, as I see it.

Whether or not the different styles merit a copyright notice is a different story. I agree this ought to be looked into.

While we credit OpenStreetMap for their data, the tiles are not credited even though openstreetmap requires it. See http://osm.org/copyright

However, as the user can choose different stylesheets we need different copyright notices according to stylesheet used, as I suspect MapQuest would want to be credited as well.
