To legal-talk,
I was trying to think of a way to clarify the situation on copyright
expiry of OS maps. One interpretation is the 50 years copyright starts
when the map was last updated. Another is the copyright clock starts on
the year of the copyright notice. To get an answer, what better way
I doubt its binding. Strictly speaking FOI requests are for information not
opinions, but its something no-one seems to pay much attention to. There
might be an estoppel/legitimate expectation argument but I doubt it.
This is off the top of my head of course.

I'd say they can probably always backtrack, but they cannot blame you
for taking this answer as face value and start using OOC maps. It is
just five years difference anyway, so if

Good work! This must mean that if we see Ordnance Survey maps in secondhand
shops with a copyright date of 1958 or earlier, we should buy them and start
scanning them in.
(I know about the npemaps site; is there some other collection of out-of-
copyright maps to contribute to?)
