There is one more layer of abstraction: the design firm
http://www.magneticcreative.com/.  It seems that Magnetic Creative would
understand this issue.  They have their name in fine print at the bottom of
each page on the site.  Just as they want their name published for
potential clients, OpenStreetMap would like attribution for potential
future mappers.  I added their email to the list.  They would have to join
the list to respond, etc.  However, they should be able to pick up the
drift from this email chain.
