[OSM-talk] Burger King use of OSM without Attribution

[Clifford Snow]

I notices a new user added a fast food node [1] in Spokane, WA. The name
was entered as BK. Assuming it was probably a Burger King, I did a search
and found that it was actually a Burger King restaurant. What I noticed was
their map [2] was identical to OSM.

I sent a message via their contact me link on the page asking that they
comply with our terms of use.

Has anyone else noticed Burger King using OSM data before?

On a side note, I did send the user a message asking to verify the name.
First time user with MAPS.ME.
