Description

Given that this style is one of the popular, if not the most popular, starting points for building a map style with OpenStreetMap data, it would seem to be a good idea to clarify which, if any, licence applies to the visual design of maps created with this style (analog to https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-styles/blob/master/LICENSE.md).

Further, some thought should be given to grandfathering previous, potentially unlicensed use.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the issue and the referenced mapbox-gl-styles LICENSE.md for the licensing information being requested. Done means the project's position on the visual design licence and treatment of previous use is decided and documented, but the issue does not identify a repository file or provide that policy decision.
