That's very good news. Hacon is a large player, and their Hafas software is
also used by the planners of the German, Belgian, and Swiss railways. It
would be interesting to see if they will roll out their Openstreetmap
integration to other markets as well.

To get attribution, I think the best think to do would be to directly
communicate with Hacan. CFL might nog even know that they use
Openstreetmap. Hacon will likely not open their data, as selling the data
is their business model.
