+The vector tile schema has been developed by Klokan Technologies GmbH and

+with permission from CartoDB Inc.
+The vector tile schema has been refined and improved in cooperation with
+the Wikimedia Foundation and is heavily influenced by years of
+Paul Norman's experience of creating maps from OpenStreetMap data.
