Take a look here:

It really bothers me that they are not giving 'us' credit for this map.
This a study bureau that has gotten the assignment from the province to
plan the 'fiets-ostrade' from Mechelen (Nekkerspoel)/Antweroen till
Zemst/Vl-Brabant.

They use GIS data all the time, they should know better. The tiles are
comming from mapbox, I already verified my "easter eggs" are present in
their map.
tbh, what took me over the edge to raise this issue here is the fact
they will be "study'ing" for 2 full years on how to implement this
bicycle road. They already determined where it goes so I really wanted
to know what the 2 years of taxpayers money was going to when I stumbled
upon that map. Spending hours and hours on OSM, I can't stand it people
don't even bother to credit the source.
Does anyone have standard mails/letters they can send out?
If I have to write one, I'm going to sound a wee-bit too hostile even
when I pay attention not to.
