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

[Tom Morris]

It looks more like Mapbox Streets rendering.

Here's a quick screenshot of Mapbox Streets at zoom level 17 for comparison:

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.
