 The maps from OpenStreetMap used in om-locations require attribution
 according to the CC-by-SA licence.
 The wiki page indicates that the maps come from OSM. There does need to be
 indication with the downloaded maps that they are from OSM.
 May I suggest that in the package information which is read prior to
 download through assassin this information is included
 for example

 om-maps-london
 Openmoko Software 20080430-r0
 Download size 17156KB

 Map of London, for use with Locations application.
 Data from OpenStreetMap.org, licenced CC-by-SA.
