I'd say that it depends entirely on the precise details of the correspondence between OS and Henk Hoff on behalf of LWG that was referred to in [1]. (ie. whether we should take their response to apply to the OS OpenData products, or any of their own rights that they license under their OS OpenData License.) Whatever was said there though, I don't think it's appropriate for individuals mappers to have to come to a decision on anything but the most straightforward licensing issues. I'd suggest we defer to LWG, and ask them (on behalf of OSMF) whether they're happy with us including this data in OSM. At the end of the day it's OSMF who are publishing the OSM data, and it's the project as a whole that will suffer if we include data that we don't have the right to distribute. Robert.
