Using OSM via Qt in a commercial application - what does the license require?

Colleagues,
help me deal with OSM licenses. Thoughtfully read everything, but I'm not sure that I understood everything correctly. I have a commercial application that uses an OSM map through the Qt framework. On the map, a certain number of objects are displayed, which can change during the program's operation.
Is displaying the "© OpenStreetMap contributors" link sufficient in this case, or are there other license requirements?
If I understand correctly, my case fits the point:

3c. If I make something with OSM data, do I now have to apply your license to my whole work?
no. For example, if you have written a game or published an artistic map which includes OSM data, only the data is covered by the license. This is called a Produced Work.
However, if you make a database which includes OSM data and any additional information (including using information to decide on OSM features NOT to include in your database), then this would be classed as a "derivative database" and should be made available under the Open Database License as in 3b above.

A link "© OpenStreetMap contributors" somewhere in the corner of the screen leading to https://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright is enough.
