It would be great to have some option to hide the "NASA/Public domain" label to have better view of the map.

No idea where that image comes from, let's ask Friedrich.

Here the trace:

the applet ( https://cgit.kde.org/marble.git/tree/src/plasma/applets/worldclock/package/contents/ui/main.qml ) uses the map theme "earth/bluemarble/bluemarble.dgml" ( https://cgit.kde.org/marble.git/tree/data/maps/earth/bluemarble/bluemarble.dgml ).
That one has an entry
<license short="NASA / Public Domain">Source: NASA Goddard Space Flight Center Earth Observatory http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/Newsroom/BlueMarble, License: Public Domain</license>

So given this is Public Domain, possibly the note does not need to be displayed indeed.

Just, the current QML API of the Marble QtQuick item does not expose a property to control the display, compare the "// TODO: showCredit: false" ( https://cgit.kde.org/marble.git/tree/src/plasma/applets/worldclock/package/contents/ui/main.qml#n89 ).

So this needs someone to implement that property and remove the comment :)

No time myself these month, also not right now not active in the Marble project, but might be a nice Junior Job for someone to contribute themselves. Should be a copy&paste job to a large degree.
