OSM attribution and other credits when printing

[severinmenard]

MapStore respects well the mandatory OSM attribution with the background layers, adding automatically (c) OpenStreetMap contributors (or derivatives) in the footer, but this is not the case when using the printing module, what is unfortunate. Therefore it would be great to add this footer retrieving the background credits also in a printed map when a background is included, in order to be compliant with the OSM copyright

Any update on this topic?

To make sure i got this right:

• attribution is properly displayed in the web interface, whether the attribution is for a background or an overlay layer
• attribution is only printed in the pdf if it comes from an overlay layer, and is missing for the background layers ?

if so, then yes that's probably a bug.

I was focusing on the background layer, as I think it is up to the layer manager to ensure an overlay layer is dully attributed when required. Regarding the background layer, the attribution (filled in the config files) are well displayed both in the MapStore footer and the bottom of the map view of the impression window, as shown below, from https://mapstore.geosolutionsgroup.com/mapstore/#/viewer/openlayers/8982:

But once you click on the Print button, the attribution vanished in the overview:
