Roads, tracks, car parks, rivers and water bodies: © OpenStreetMap contributors, available under the Open Database Licence 1.0 (ODbL), https://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright; commercial use is allowed.

What the licence asks

• credit '© OpenStreetMap contributors' beside the map or where credits are customary, make clear the data are available under the ODbL, and print the URL openstreetmap.org/copyright on printed maps and PDFs
• a rendered or printed map is a Produced Work: it may carry any licence, but the notice above must go with it (ODbL 4.3)
• the osm_* tables in db.sqlite are a Derivative Database (a systematic extract of far more than 100 features): when maps made from them are used publicly, offer that extract, or the method that makes it (jis import-osm-roads / import-osm-waterways and their Overpass queries), under the ODbL, free of charge if online (ODbL 4.4, 4.6)
