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

Burgerking is using the static image api from mapbox:

http://api.tiles.mapbox.com/v3/dondeinc.ilo032fk/url-http%3A%2F%2Fs3.amazonaws.com%2Fdonde-img%2Fpin-bk.png%3Fc%3D3(-117.4382504,47.71573001)/-117.4382504,47.71573001,16/640x640.png

So perhaps mapbox should be asked why attribution is not visible in the
static image api.
