TBH I actually feel flattered when an external organisation uses our maps. At 
Mottisfont and Dunbridge station, Hants, there's a map which I think could be 
an OSM map - reason being it shows a permissive path not on Ordnance Survey 
maps. On the other hand it could be just drawn by a 'local'. It would be *nice* 
for them to attribute, but I do think it is rather nice to see our maps being 
used in the real world in any case.
