I have discovered that the railway company České dráhy uses the OSM basemap on the onboard information screens without showing the proper attribution.
I want to follow the recommendation found on the wiki page sending them a friendly reminder to update their display to align with the requirements of using OSM data. For that I am asking the czech community for assistance of finding the right department and setting up a friendly email.
The image is showing the screen on a ČD comfortjet rolling stock currently running services to Austria and Germany. You can’t find any attribution where it would be expected when inspecting the screen for an extended moment therefore the guidelines are not being followed.
I would be happy for some help from the czech community for this issue
BTW, I am not sure whether my emails to PKP Intercity were related at all, but it seems that more train in Poland, especially newer ones, started to mention source on maps
děkujeme Vám za upozornění na chybějící uvedení zdroje.
Tento nedostatek jsme plošně a dle možností napravili přidáním citace, případně odstraněním zobrazování map, na všech aktivních vozech.

Dear passenger,
Thank you for pointing out the missing source reference.
We have corrected this deficiency across the board and, where possible, by adding citations
or removing map displays on all active vehicles.
Have a nice day,

This is only the ČD. Other agencies like PKP or ZSSK may still be affected.
