No idea. Do their terms allow to use the tiles directly without using
their own JS-API which enforces the attribution in the corner?
BTW: Someone mentioned Mapbox:
Mapbox does not display attribution but "Terms & Feedback". At least if
you follow their introduction on how to show a simple map. No word about
attribution.
https://www.mapbox.com/mapbox.js/example/v1.0.0/
a click leads to a copyright page mentioning OSM, no link to us but to ODbL.
https://www.mapbox.com/about/maps/
Showcase of Mapbox shows some of their customers.
Foursquare: No attribution. A click away they mention OSM but not ODbL
Pinterest: can't say without sign up, but based on screenshot
attribution is "About this map"
Hipmunk: no attribution. Clearly uses OSM data
So having a correct attribution seems to be a quite hard task, even for
a company so closely related to OSM as mapbox is. Probably they also did
not read the legal page which recommends:
"If you are producing library code that offers OpenStreetMap data or
tiles, you should make sure library users are aware of these terms. We
strongly recommend that you display this credit by default when your
library is used. "
