Hi Graham,

the Wiki [1] it says:
"So, we have focused on what "insubstantial" rather than "substantial" means. We've set the boundary we are happy with at basically: village map OK, town map not OK."
(with that sentence describing where not attributing OSM would be ok-ish)

As the map you linked is essentially a world-map that just happens to only have POIs on the Island of Great Britain I would always argue that that is substantial use.

I trust that you've seen the Wiki page [2] for pages lacking proper attribution, there you'll also find an example email if you need help telling them your concern. If you add the site to the table on the site that would also be great for tracking progress.
