OpenStreetMap tile licence

  • Please confirm that the map part of the plug-in is not abusing the OpenStreetMap tile license restrictions. Data is downloadable, but not tiles.

    My understanding is that GeoJSON is about ADDING a layer (the point definition) to a loaded map not the initial loading of the map.

    A quick look at the HTML for a venue page shows the contents (id=eo_venue_map-1) consists of a few images of the relevant tiles with sources like src=”https://c.tile.openstreetmap.org/15/16339/10858.png” which implies to me that they have come from the openstreetmap tiles interface.

    Further, if you look or stop in the debugger in U3ADacorum.org\wp-content\plugins\event-organiser/js\maps\JS openstreetmap-adapter.js in line 35 you will find the map definition (mapargs.tiles.url = “https://{s}.tile.openstreetmap.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png”).

    Again the openstreetmap tiles interface. Whatever else may be happening, it is definitely passing through this statement so I think that any subsequent use of GeoJSON is irrelevant.

    It occurred to me that if the tiles were only down loaded once and cached within wp-content, the limited use requirement would not be violated.

    Are there plans to do this?
