Lets put some clarity on this.

My simple non-legal logic was we could use the same OS map we are allowed to
use for tracing/information. If they based them on that and released maybe that
would be ok. They did say they had hundreds of maps of the ongoing works and I
hoped it was the case of just selecting the right one.

Hi,
I have been talking to the Highways Agency who are keen to get more recent
changes on OSM. They want to get all the new roads added and therefore added to
the routers.

Always to play the devils advocate. We have all heard about "mapping for
the renderer" but are you "mapping for the third party data providers that is
slow at updating the planet data". They should use the data correctly. It is
annoying the stale content that some devs/providers provide, may

it would be crazy to have lengthy discussions on each one for multiple
