The Discovery Department has launched an experimental tile and static maps service available at https://maps.wikimedia.org. Using this service you can browse and embed map tiles into your own tools using OpenStreetMap data. Currently, we handle traffic from *.wmflabs .org and *.wikivoyage .org (referrer header must be either missing or set to these values) but we would like to open it up to Wikipedia traffic if we see enough use. Our hope is that this service fits the needs of the numerous maps developers and tool authors who have asked for a WMF hosted tile service with an initial focus on WikiVoyage. We'd love for you to try our new service, experiment writing tools using our tiles, and giving us feedback <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Maps> . If you've built a tool using OpenStreetMap-based imagery then using our service is a simple drop-in replacement. Getting started is as easy as https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Maps#Getting_Started How can you help? * Adapt your labs tool to use this service - for example, use Leaflet js library and point it to https://maps.wikimedia.org * File bugs in Phabricator <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/discovery-maps-sprint/> * Provide us feedback to help guide future features <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Maps> * Improve our map style <https://github.com/kartotherian/osm-bright.tm2> * Improve our data extraction <https://github.com/kartotherian/osm-bright.tm2source> Based on usage and your feedback, the Discovery team <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Discovery> will decide how to proceed.

For example, to get an image centered at 42,-3.14, at zoom level 4, size 800x600, use https://maps.wikimedia.org/img/osm-intl,4,42,-3.14,800x600.png (copy/paste the link, or else it might not work due to referrer restriction). Do note that the static feature is highly experimental right now.

What is the license for the map tiles, i.e. the cartography rather than the data? Open Street Maps uses CC-BY-SA, although they don't really make it clear who is supposed to be attributed. It looks like our tiles are different though. On Thu, Sep 17, 2015 at 12:26 PM, Tomasz Finc <tfinc(a)wikimedia.org> wrote:

I feel like there's an argument to be made that the images are a derived work from the data itself, so it may be best to just stick with OSM's license rather than run into any possible issues. (Also, of course, I am biased and prefer copyleft licenses since they support free information.) *-- * *Tyler Romeo* Stevens Institute of Technology, Class of 2016 Major in Computer Science On Thu, Sep 17, 2015 at 3:49 PM, Ryan Kaldari <rkaldari(a)wikimedia.org> wrote:

Kartotherian

can produce tiles as images (png), and as raw vector data (PBF Mapbox format or json): .../{source}/{zoom}/{x}/{y}[(a){scale}x].{format} Additionally, Kartotherian can produce snapshot (static) images of any location, scaling, and zoom level with .../{source},{zoom},{lat},{lon},{width}x{height}[(a){scale}x].{format}.

While the presentation of data can be copyrighted within the United States, and database rights permit the pseudo-copyrighting of data within the European Union, our core servers are hosted within the United States - a jurisdiction where data /itself/ cannot be copyrighted. Our license does not have to derive from OSM. I agree with Ryan that CC-0 is the best approach here. On 17 September 2015 at 16:00, Tyler Romeo <tylerromeo(a)gmail.com> wrote:

ODbL (which is the license for the data) doesn't require any particular license for maps produced from ODbL data. (And in the U.S. data isn't copyrightable anyway.) There is a copyright on the style and presentation of the tiles which is separate from any copyright on the data. This copyright belongs to whoever created the styles for the tiles (or their employer). Unless whoever that is explicitly puts it under a license, the style of the tiles is fully copyrighted (in the U.S. at least).

And in case that isn't decided, I would suggest CC0 so that we don't have to link to a big explanation from each tile rendering :) On Thu, Sep 17, 2015 at 12:40 PM, Ryan Kaldari <rkaldari(a)wikimedia.org> wrote: > What is the license for the map tiles, i.e. the cartography rather than > the data?

The underlying data is ODbL which is properly attributed per OSM guidelines. The license for tiles themselves is a different issue, OSM decided to CC them, we're not claiming any additional copyright so far, until legal tells us in https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T111224 On Thu, Sep 17, 2015 at 12:40 PM, Ryan Kaldari <rkaldari(a)wikimedia.org> wrote:

Just a note -- the scale factor is for high-density displays, which are now standard on most phones and increasingly common on laptops (1.5x is common on small Windows laptops with 1080p displays). However the available scale factors are hardcoded, so you can't just take an arbitrary device scale factor (window.devicePixelRatio in HTML5) and feed it in, as it might not match and you'll get HTTP errors out. I've got a provisional patch in for the example front-end which manually brackets to the available settings: https://github.com/kartotherian/kartotherian/pull/13 It'd be awesome to either expose the available scaling factors as a list via JSON API, or move the bracketing logic into the server side so you can send a query with your actual scale factor and get back one that will work. (If available scaling factors depend on the layer source being viewed, this might be more complicated.)

We would like to thank WMF Ops (especially Alex Kosiaris, Brandon Black, and Jaime Crespo), services team, OSM community and engineers, and the Mapnik and Mapbox teams. The project would not have completed so fast without you.

Seconded. :) -- brion

The bracketing was introduced to reduce the DDOS attack surface and increase the cache hit ratio. This means that we could in theory do all the magic of bracketing in the varnish (to keep the cache rate high), or we could force the clients to do the logic. The problem with Varnish approach is that it puts business-level logic into Varnish's brittle C-style configs. On Thu, Sep 17, 2015 at 11:58 PM, Brion Vibber <bvibber(a)wikimedia.org> wrote:
