There are
many
contributors
to OpenStreetMap. There are
more than ten million registered OpenStreetMap users
It is impossible to adequately acknowledge the many individuals who survey their neighbourhoods with GPS and notepad, or trace over licensed satellite imagery, to contribute the most complete, most current, most accurate data to OpenStreetMap. Also, some publishers (listed and attributed below) allow their data to be included in OpenStreetMap.
If you are looking for how to attribute OSM, see
Legal FAQ
Inclusion of data (including data derived from photos) in OpenStreetMap does not imply that the original data provider endorses OpenStreetMap, provides any warranty, or accepts any liability.

Finding contributors
You may wish to try and find a list of contributors in a specific area. You can do this by
browsing
to the desired area, and moving to the 'history' tab, which displays details of all
changesets
intersecting this area. Generally the display includes a large number of 'big' changesets which covered a big area, and which are less likely to include significant updates actually within your desired area (but can't be sure). Using the
data layer
might be the better option to view the contributors to a single map object.
You can find users who have last edited all elements in an area. This information is returned in
map call
e.g. the data you get when you download an area in
JOSM
. This can also be visualised using
OSM Mapper
. However this may be discounting the original creators of elements (possibly a more important contribution). You can find the original creator of an element, and all users who have since edited the element, by querying its history. Through the
API
, your query would be of the form
/history

Contributor specific attribution and disclaimer
In addition to the individual contributions from our members, several commercial and government bodies have contributed and / or permitted to be contributed their data to OpenStreetMap. This may only be a partial list. Imports are also listed at

A small number of contributors are listed on the

HOT (Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team) crisis mapping
HOT makes extensive use of Bing and MapBox imagery while mapping for various projects and humanitarian activations. In case of emergencies or for specific humanitarian projects, we need to compliment or add to this imagery. The contributors listed below graciously collaborate on the humanitarian responses by providing free imagery on a limited basis for specific HOT tracing projects. OpenStreetMap gratefully acknowledges such actions since they provide both a much needed immediate humanitarian value as well as allowing us to create a long term asset. The following companies and organizations have been instrumental in our humanitarian mapping projects:
Airbus D&S, Centre National d’Etudes Spatiales (CNES) - SPOT 6 and Pleiades imagery
MAXAR (formerly, DigitalGlobe)
Google Crisis Response team have allowed imagery released under "Skybox for Good" to be digitized into OSM under OSM's license by HOT under the condition that changesets and/or features that are derived from Skybox for Good imagery are attributed to Skybox. (2014-10)

From an email from Maianna Voge, Associate Director, GreenInfo Network, March 25, 2019:
"CPAD is not copyrighted, you are free to use it in OSM. We usually ask for attribution (specified in the shp metadata), but that’s just a courtesy, not a requirement."

Since 03/2026, following the request made by

, the European Commission has authorised OSM to use the
Natura 2000

CC BY 4.0
) with the following description:
The descriptive data in the European database are based on the information that national authorities have submitted, for each of the Natura 2000 sites, through a site-specific standard data form (SDF). In addition to other site-specific information, the standard data form provides the list of all species and habitat types for which a site is officially designated. The spatial data outlines the boundaries of sites as submitted by Member States. The data submitted by each Member State are validated by the European Environment Agency (EEA). Any problems identified through the validation procedures in the national datasets are brought to the attention of the Member States concerned. However, it remains up to the Member States to decide whether to submit a revised dataset before the European database is updated. The EEA therefore cannot guarantee that all inconsistences detected in national datasets are removed in the European dataset. The database contains for each site the version proposed by the Member States and approved by the European Commission.
The dataset can be visualised on the

Hei,
Pahoittelut ensinnäkin vastauksen viipymisestä taas, mutta jouduimme tämän kuitenkin vielä viemään oikeuspalveluihimme linjattavaksi.
Valitettavasti saimme sieltä kannanotoksi sen, ettemme erikseen tällaisia lausuntoja lisenssin soveltamisesta laadi. Niihin liittyen voi tulevaisuudessa tulla
odottamattomia ongelmia lisenssin tulkintaan liittyen ja se rikkoisi myös aineiston hyödyntäjien tasapuolista kohtelua. Lisenssimme on julkishallinnon suosituksen
mukainen ja siihen emme siis voi muita kannanottoja antaa.
Mutta edelleenkään emme näe, että OSMn käyttötavassa olisi ristiriitaa lisenssimme kanssa.

Specifically OpenStreetMap has used products released by Ordnance Survey as part of the OpenData™ suite on 1st April 2010. OpenStreetMap contributors are asked to also add a source tag to data entered into OpenStreetMap where this has specifically originated from an Ordnance Survey OpenData™ product.
Ordnance Survey OpenData™ products are a mixture of vector and raster products. Where OpenStreetMap contributors have made use of raster data (mapping images) then any data from these within the OpenStreetMap database will have been derived, principally by hand tracing. Where Ordnance Survey OpenData™ products were made available in vector format, these may have been partially or completely imported into OpenStreetMap as modified vector data. Modification may include subtle positional modification or modification of data attributes.
Ordnance Survey does not endorse OpenStreetMap or OpenStreetMap's use of Ordnance Survey OpenData™ product data.

Information in the "List of Streets" maintained by local councils
Under
section 36(6) Highways Act 1980
, each Highways Authority has to maintain an official list of "highways maintainable at the public expense". Typically this list will include each public road name, reference number, and a description of the start and end points. Cycleways and some urban footways are also listed. The information is useful in particular for identifying and classifying unsurfaced tracks which are technically public highways but may not appear so (e.g. routes shown on OS maps as "Other Route with Public Access").
