Hi, how do you attribute your published maps in a few days?
If I got it correct from ODbL-licence it should be something like that (in case of its a derivative Database): According to http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Legal_FAQ I will use now:
for the license (--license-file) "Map data (c) OpenStreetMap contributors (http://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright)"
for the copyright (--copyright-message) "OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL. See: http://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright" (Garmin will add the (c) at their own in the output). It seems that this license/copyright information should be in the .osm/.pbf, and mkgmap should just carry it along. Of course, combining terms seems tricky for multiple inputs, but in the simple case making the mkgmap user set license terms manually seems suboptimal. I think, there is only a little number of mkgmap-user, who publish their maps. Everyone else hasn't the problem. ;) I think there wont be something, which works automatic for all users. Maybe the default could be no licence infomation and a warning printed out, that it should be set via --license-file/--copyright-message, if necessary.
@Thorsten: This seems to be a better solution. Henning
