There are many contributors to OpenStreetMap. There are more than ten million registered OpenStreetMap users.
It is impossible to adequately acknowledge the many individuals who survey their neighbourhoods with GPS and notepad, or trace over licensed satellite imagery, to contribute the most complete, most current, most accurate data to OpenStreetMap. Also, some publishers (listed and attributed below) allow their data to be included in OpenStreetMap.
If you are looking for how to attribute OSM, see Legal FAQ.
Inclusion of data (including data derived from photos) in OpenStreetMap does not imply that the original data provider endorses OpenStreetMap, provides any warranty, or accepts any liability.
You may wish to try and find a list of contributors in a specific area. You can do this by browsing to the desired area, and moving to the 'history' tab, which displays details of all changesets intersecting this area. Generally the display includes a large number of 'big' changesets which covered a big area, and which are less likely to include significant updates actually within your desired area (but can't be sure). Using the data layer might be the better option to view the contributors to a single map object.
You can find users who have last edited all elements in an area. This information is returned in map call e.g. the data you get when you download an area in JOSM. This can also be visualised using OSM Mapper. However this may be discounting the original creators of elements (possibly a more important contribution). You can find the original creator of an element, and all users who have since edited the element, by querying its history. Through the API, your query would be of the form where <objtype> is: 'way' or 'node' and <id> is the ID number of the item. This would have to be performed for every node and way within the area.
In addition to the individual contributions from our members, several commercial and government bodies have contributed and / or permitted to be contributed their data to OpenStreetMap. This may only be a partial list. Imports are also listed at Import/Catalogue.
A small number of contributors are listed on the www.openstreetmap.org/copyright page because we have used data under a license that requires that attribution.[1]
Borders in Turkey, Bahrain, Iran, Iraq, Ivory Coast, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, and Syria are derived from GADM data. We have been given explicit permission to distribute the datasets for these countries under OSM licensing conditions, including commercial use.
Please note that the normal GADM licence prohibits commercial use and GADM datasets are not legal data for inclusion in OSM without explicit permission from GADM.
More information on GADM can be found on the GADM website.
HOT makes extensive use of Bing and MapBox imagery while mapping for various projects and humanitarian activations. In case of emergencies or for specific humanitarian projects, we need to compliment or add to this imagery. The contributors listed below graciously collaborate on the humanitarian responses by providing free imagery on a limited basis for specific HOT tracing projects. OpenStreetMap gratefully acknowledges such actions since they provide both a much needed immediate humanitarian value as well as allowing us to create a long term asset. The following companies and organizations have been instrumental in our humanitarian mapping projects:
OpenStreetMap may use data from the European Union Copernicus (GMES) programme as a source of information which is being used according to EU regulation 1159/2013.
In particular OSM may contain modified Copernicus Sentinel data obtained and used according to the legal notice and to the Terms and Conditions.
Natural Earth is a source of global open geo data, it is licensed CC0 and they have confirmed using the data to improve OSM is approved. However, a caveat is that wikidata_id and localized names come from Wikidata, so there may be concerns with using those two fields. See here for more information about using Wikidata in OSM.
The Global Land Ice Measurements from Space (GLIMS) is a global dataset of glaciers and is public domain. There are more details at GLIMS Glacier Database.
The United Nations World Food Programme performs logistics assessments on roads around the world. They approved that the assessments can be used for improving OpenStreetMap, but caveat that they may be out of date. (See this and this for details.)

Some post-earthquake data in and around Port-au-Prince Haiti is derived by permission from images copyright GeoEye.
On 14 January 2010, GeoEye granted OpenStreetMap permission to derive data from a limited set of their aerial images related to the Haiti earthquake of Tuesday 12 January 2010. Find more information on the WikiProject Haiti Page.
Exceptionally Google gave permission for aerial imagery flown post-earthquake (on January 17 2010 and January 21 2010) to be used by OSM contributors to map areas of Haiti. The permission was transmitted on twitter by Mikel Maron on January 21st, and Christoph Schmidt processed the images as tiles which were made available almost immediately, see Old Haiti Imagery. The imagery was available earlier, but was released with a non-commercial clause which required an exception to be made for use on OSM>

All California state GIS data are specifically exempted from having any license under state law regarding "right of access to public records." Furthermore, this was upheld by the California Supreme Court.
Some data regarding state parks and other "protected" areas delineated by boundary=protected_area in the state are entered from California Protected Areas Database (CPAD) data published by GreenInfo Network. CPAD contains data on lands owned in fee by governments, non-profits and some private entities that are protected for open space purposes. Data include all such areas in California, from small urban parks to large national parks and forests, mostly aligned to assessor parcel boundaries, though CPAD considers California's Department of Parks and Recreation data authoritative when it comes to state parks boundaries. From an email from Maianna Voge, Associate Director, GreenInfo Network, March 25, 2019:
"CPAD is not copyrighted, you are free to use it in OSM. We usually ask for attribution (specified in the shp metadata), but that’s just a courtesy, not a requirement."
Please see California/Using CPAD data for suggestions on how to logically map the CPAD tags to OSM tags.
The City of Pueblo's GIS Division has granted OpenStreetMap the right to use their geodata.
The e-mail confirming this reads:
"Feel free to use any of the data of the City of Pueblo's Open Data Portal for incorporation into the OpenStreetMap Project Geodatabase. I'm glad you reached out, I have made several edits to OSM over the past year, but did not know if there was someone I could reach out to in order to provide our data to them. Below is the disclaimer for the use of our data and let me know if you have any questions. Have a great day!

jdcarls2 (on OSM · edits · contribs · heatmap · comments) and the Remote Sensing Data Manager of the Illinois State Geological Survey:
After much research I have found that you are granted permissions to use the LiDAR data to make derivatives such as building footprints and similar derived products. As long as you follow the guidelines mentioned in the metadata to cite ISGS as the source using the proper metadata for the LiDAR this would be fine.
It is requested, but not required, that the IndianaMap Data Sharing Initiative between IGIC, Indiana Office of Technology (IOT), Indiana Geographic Information Office (GIO), Indiana Department of Homeland Security (IDHS), Indiana Geological Survey (IGS) and participating Indiana counties be cited in any products generated from this data set. If citing, the following source citation language should be included:
[COUNTY_ADDRESS_POINTS_IDHS_IN: Address Points Maintained by County Agencies in Indiana, Twentieth Harvest (Indiana Department of Homeland Security, Point feature class), 20151217].
All data at KyGovMaps Open Data Portal is public domain according to the Division of Geographic Information.
Address data was imported from "Maine_E911_Addresses_Roads_PSAP" provided by "Maine Emergency Services Communications Bureau (ESCB) branch of the Maine Public Utilities Commission (PUC)" in 2020. More information about the source data can be found at https://www.maine.gov/megis/.
All Maryland state GIS data is specifically exempted from having any license under state law. The passed law, Senate Bill 94 (2015) repealed the code that gave governments the authority to compel a citizen to enter into a contract (e.g. a license) before distributing geographic data[3].
Further, all local and municipal governments within in the State of Maryland are governed by the same law. Therefore, even if a county or local government website lists a license requirement, the license is invalidated by the law[4]. Some local governments have not updated their terms after the passage of this bill.
Data from the Maryland DNR portal is in the public domain according to Dave Foreman, GIS Analyst, MD DNR. I --ElliottPlack (talk) 16:59, 20 April 2013 (UTC) spoke to Dave at the TUgis conference in 2013 and secured permission to put the data on OpenStreetMap, and that there are no use constraints. The DNR is gradually migrating their data to the Maryland Open Data GIS Portal, which operates under the same public domain license.

The State Cartographer's Office provides a wide variety of spatial datasets at https://geodata.wisc.edu/. These data are covered by Wisconsin's Public Records Law, and are Public Domain.
According to Wisconsin's Public Records Law, Wisconsin's parcel data is considered Public Domain and available for use in OSM. Included is the following disclaimer:
The information shown on this map was obtained from Wisconsin’s counties in 2018 and thus may not be the most current, comprehensive data available. Source data for parcel polygons was collected between January–July of 2018. However, the tax roll year for most records is 2017, as the assessment cycle lags a year behind. To ensure the most current, comprehensive parcel data, consult the local government’s land information websites first, or contact the city or county land information office directly. The next release of the statewide parcel layer, V5, is tentatively scheduled for June 30, 2019.
No warranty, expressed or implied, is made regarding accuracy, completeness, or legality of the information herein. The boundaries depicted on this map do not represent the legal ownership boundaries of any property. The delineation of legal boundaries may only be conducted by a licensed surveyor. This map is not a survey of the actual boundary of any property this map depicts.

Since 03/2026, following the request made by GiovanniPen, the European Commission has authorised OSM to use the Natura 2000 dataset (that is under CC BY 4.0[5]) with the following description:
The descriptive data in the European database are based on the information that national authorities have submitted, for each of the Natura 2000 sites, through a site-specific standard data form (SDF). In addition to other site-specific information, the standard data form provides the list of all species and habitat types for which a site is officially designated. The spatial data outlines the boundaries of sites as submitted by Member States. The data submitted by each Member State are validated by the European Environment Agency (EEA). Any problems identified through the validation procedures in the national datasets are brought to the attention of the Member States concerned. However, it remains up to the Member States to decide whether to submit a revised dataset before the European database is updated. The EEA therefore cannot guarantee that all inconsistences detected in national datasets are removed in the European dataset. The database contains for each site the version proposed by the Member States and approved by the European Commission.
The dataset can be visualised on the Natura 2000 Viewer, or directly downloaded from the corresponding EEA datahub page.

Quote of the 2013 permission for the importing of the data
Hei, Pahoittelut ensinnäkin vastauksen viipymisestä taas, mutta jouduimme tämän kuitenkin vielä viemään oikeuspalveluihimme linjattavaksi. Valitettavasti saimme sieltä kannanotoksi sen, ettemme erikseen tällaisia lausuntoja lisenssin soveltamisesta laadi. Niihin liittyen voi tulevaisuudessa tulla odottamattomia ongelmia lisenssin tulkintaan liittyen ja se rikkoisi myös aineiston hyödyntäjien tasapuolista kohtelua. Lisenssimme on julkishallinnon suosituksen mukainen ja siihen emme siis voi muita kannanottoja antaa. Mutta edelleenkään emme näe, että OSMn käyttötavassa olisi ristiriitaa lisenssimme kanssa. terveisin Teija Tarvainen Teija Tarvainen Palvelupäällikkö Maanmittauslaitos, Tietopalvelut p. 040 7787391 http://www.maanmittauslaitos.fi/

Specifically OpenStreetMap has used products released by Ordnance Survey as part of the OpenData™ suite on 1st April 2010. OpenStreetMap contributors are asked to also add a source tag to data entered into OpenStreetMap where this has specifically originated from an Ordnance Survey OpenData™ product.
Ordnance Survey OpenData™ products are a mixture of vector and raster products. Where OpenStreetMap contributors have made use of raster data (mapping images) then any data from these within the OpenStreetMap database will have been derived, principally by hand tracing. Where Ordnance Survey OpenData™ products were made available in vector format, these may have been partially or completely imported into OpenStreetMap as modified vector data. Modification may include subtle positional modification or modification of data attributes.
Ordnance Survey does not endorse OpenStreetMap or OpenStreetMap's use of Ordnance Survey OpenData™ product data.
