Re: [Talk-GB] OS Opendata & the new license/CT

[Ed Avis]

I'm sorry if I quoted from the contributor terms out of context, it was not
my intention.  You are right that detailed discussion of this stuff belongs
on legal-talk.  But, to be clear, are you saying that there is nothing in the
current contributor terms that precludes large-scale copying from the Ordnance
Survey OpenData maps and data sets?

If so, mappers who are in favour of the new CTs could simply sign up now and
leave somebody else to worry about the legal nitpicking.

Given that's not what the contributor terms states, your point is
invalid. I don't know why you, and others, keep selectively quoting
from that sentence of the CTs - it's a pointless discussion to just
chop off critical parts of a sentence and then point at the rest of it
and say "ooh, look".

Anyway, if we're here discussing the precise legal interpretation of
the CTs, then I'll ask you to take the discussion to legal-talk.

Thanks,
Andy
