OpenStreetMap (OSM) is a collaborative, volunteer-driven project to create a free, editable map of the world. It is managed by the OpenStreetMap Foundation (OSMF), founded in 2006 to support the project’s infrastructure and community.

Key points:

• Origins: Initiated in 2004 by map enthusiasts led by Steve Coast in the United Kingdom.
• Data model: Map features are contributed by thousands of volunteers who gather and publish geospatial data.
• Licensing: Map data is released under the Open Database License (ODbL), enabling broad reuse with attribution.
• Community: A global network of users, editors, and local chapters that maintain and improve the map.
• Website you cited: CoinMap.org is a separate project that maps businesses accepting cryptocurrency; it uses OpenStreetMap data and tools but is not the same entity as OpenStreetMap itself.
