I am certainly using OS 24 inch maps in that way to work out where one building 
ends and another begins. Of course that only works in areas that are unchanged 
for a very long time.

Certainly useful.

House of Fraser today announced today that half their branches are to

does it make sense with this announcement (or others like it in the

The transaction-limited versions don't appear to be being released as OGL;
OS is simply offering a free starter tariff for them. OS draws a distinction
on their product page between "for free up to a threshold" and "completely
open under Open Government Licence (OGL)" (it's that old free speech/beer
thing again).

So the property extents are the only new data being released as OGL for now,
with the possibility of UPRN/USRN data later on.
