imho its an important, missing feature of custom maptypes that doesnt
need much effort to be added

projects like open street map deserve it

Agreed.

> projects like open street map deserve it

Open Streetmap is a simple special case because their copyright
doesn't change with location. They are using only the CC label outside
the map container on their own map.

Still I agree that a dynamic copyright system is a mandatory.

Why not just make a custom control to display your copyrights?

See this page by esa: http://koti.mbnet.fi/ojalesa/v3/osmtest.htm
It loads with custom (OSM) mapType and nocopyrightinformation is
displayed. Switch to roadmap and Googlecopyrightinformation is
shown. Switch back to OSM and Googlecopyrightinformation is still
there.

imho -> bug

I agree that's a bug.  Once we fix that bug, why not display copyrights in a custom control?

I think the question being asked is: if the code is already in the API
to display copyright info for the built-in layers (map/satellite), why
not make that available for custom map types?

Custom overlay or just a positioned/styled div works for me. Link that
to maptypeid_changed to hide/display appropriately. And one could even
listen to zoom and move events to change the notice if they needed.
Flexibility without extra API overhead.

Because that code is quite different, fetching copyrights from Google on pan/zoom.  Custom map types often only need a static copyright, or a copyright that is displayed when the view intersects a bounding box of interest.  Even if a custom map type needs dynamic copyrights (fetched from a server on pan/zoom) we can't help with the fetching.  What we can do is provide a way to display copyrights - we call that a custom control.

listen to zoom and move events to change the notice if they needed.

You have all of the above: custom overlays, positioned/styled divs (custom controls), ability to listen to maptypeid_changed / zoom / move.  What I don't understand is, what more do you want from the API here?
