@memoria @opensourceopenmind @manankanchu looks like you’ve mixed it up. Attribution = mention the project = following the license terms. Skipping attribution without explicit permission = violating the license. Anyone can take binary maps or other files and use them for whatever needs, by following the license terms.
Do Wikipedia or OpenStreetMap.org allow removing their attribution and full rebranding as a different product?

@organicmaps @opensourceopenmind @manankanchu nothing you said addressed the problem i explained, which is your incorrect claim that the data license is a free license you conflate attribution and branding while sidestepping the free license problem. the data license may be a valid license, however that does not mean it's a free license. requirements for attribution are allowed in free licenses. your provision for persisting branding with conditional permission to modify makes it not a free license if you won't address the free license issue and continue to change the topic to different matters, then there's no reason to continue this conversation
