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

They don't seem to cut the image, as the problem seems to come from 
mapbox directly.

I think that sending now a copyright notice to BK/mapbox would seem a 
bit premature and upfront. Give them time for the email to travel to the 
right person and to think/react for a bit. After some time then, maybe.

Cheers,

Benoit
