Is the OpenStreetMap link dofollow? No, the link is nofollow
OpenStreetMap is the open map of the world that anyone can edit. Every account gets a public profile page with a free-text description where you can add links.

How to get the link

- Add your site to the description and save.
Worth it if
Your site is about maps, places, travel, outdoors or local data and you already take part in the mapping community.
Skip it if
You only want a ranking signal, since the link is nofollow and an account with no mapping history looks like spam.
