[OSM-talk] Another OSM use without attribution (unusual rendering)

In today's Metro free tabloid newspaper in London, there's sponsored article
(promoting Expedia), which extolls the virtues of the Shoreditch area of
London. Fair enough, they want a map, so they've taken Openstreetmap data,
tweaked the rendering to abbreviate street names (Old Street becomes Old St),
tweaked the styling, but it looks very much like Mapnik, and an old copy
of Openstreetmap data, based on the building outlines (I know, I mapped some
of the buildings there).

Oh, and they've not attributed Openstreetmap as the map data source.
