From OpenStreetMap Wiki
There are
many
contributors
to OpenStreetMap. There are over half a million registered OpenStreetMap users (
stats).
It is impossible to adequately acknowledge the many individuals who survey their neighbourhoods with GPS and notepad 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
Finding Contributors
You may wish to try and find a list of contributors in a specific area. Perhaps you are attempting to comply with the 'attribution' requirement of the
OpenStreetMap License
(although it should be noted that these requirements are often interpreted less strictly)
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)
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
http://api.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/<objtype>/<id>/history
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.
Contributor specific attribution and disclaimer
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
Global / Multiple Countries
GADM (Global Administrative Areas)
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 condistions, 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.

DataBC 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 DataBC 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, modification of data attributes, updating of data or integration of data with other data.
The Government of BC does not endorse OpenStreetMap or OpenStreetMap's use of DataBC product data.
