The twitterverse has been talking of nothing else. Personally, I will be very cautiously optimistic.
The best case scenario is one suggested by Bob Barr: - OSGB changes it's business model from pay-to-use to transaction based (a la Land Registry). - The £80 million (2 years at £40 million) is used to cushion revenue & staff implications - Master Map is then released under OGL going on Perhaps more likely is a special free service agreement for restricted classes of businesses (SMEs) along the lines of PSMA (I blagged this point from someone else). Even if MM is all under OGL I suspect OSGB would not acquiesce to the current form of attribution on OSM. Owen Boswarva's asks if this would <https://twitter.com/owenboswarva/status/933477244269481984s>mean the end of OSM mapping in UK. A provocative thought.
