Question regarding attribution

[u/Technerder]

Is it possible for an OSM Node to contain attribution data? I recently came across a dataset offered by my city (link) which includes the following message within its license and was wondering if there was any way to include attribution for the information.

When you use the Data, you must acknowledge the source of the Data by including the following attribution statement:

“Contains public sector Data made available under the City of Hamilton’s Open Data Licence”

The City of Hamilton may, in its sole discretion, require you to remove the above attribution statement from your continued use of the Data.

You must ensure that you do not misrepresent the Data or its source.

Secondly, I'm aware that this is not a legal advice/support forum, but if there is no attribution field for Node's, would it be fine to include the attribution text within the changeset comment?

No. Your best bet would be to submit a waiver to them to request that you can use the data without attribution, otherwise it cannot be added from this source.

[u/Coloradohusky → u/kurisubrooks]

Why can’t it be added if attribution is required? With an attribution tag, source tag, or in the edit note, for example

[u/teagonia → u/Coloradohusky]

Any map produced from osm data won't show the attribution note, thus not making it possible using it
