That's the one. The area I'm interested in is Scotland where the site quotes that gaps are filled using "local mapping", which I take it is Ordnance Survey. It doesn't say whether it's out of copyright or in-copyright maps - but the site seems to imply that commercial flight simulators have used similar data in the Alps without copyright problems. What I want to use it for is Freemap (OpenStreetMap based site geared towards UK walkers) - I don't want to restrict commercial use of the site - do people think it'll be ok?
