When I read the flier my first reaction was "cool, that looks like a Mapnik rendering". This is in the context of previous fliers variously using Google Maps or Whereis renders to provide the context.
Who knows what licencing arrangements BrisConnections has with those providers. Perhaps the NearMap commerical arrangement implies that attribution doesn't need to be carried over. Everyone's allowed to make the same mistake once. I agree with John, let's be gentle with them, at least the first time. Another opportunity for BrisConnections is for us to encourage editing the basemap so that it can provide up to date road configurations. After all, the roads get shifted around every few weeks. It would a good case study.
