All, Whether you care for public sector data released under the OS OpenData Licence or not, this will probably effect you one way or another. Can I therefore request that you please submit a comment in support of the data request available at the link below.
This is especially true if you run a business that uses OSM data - if you could mention your business in the comments then that would be much appreciated. A simple line saying that your business relies on the availability of free re-use data would be great. http://data.gov.uk/data-requests/all-datasets-available-under-the-os-opendata-licence-ordnance-survey The Open Data User Group [1] is a Government Policy Advisory Group and they intend to discuss the OS OpenData Licence at their next meeting. Submissions by Tuesday morning would therefore be most beneficial. Rob p.s. Lets not get bogged down with the OSM/OS "Special Arrangement" (I've heard it all before). The bottom line is that OS OpenData Licence is a mess and the fewer public sector organisations that use it the better. [1] https://www.gov.uk/government/policy-advisory-groups/129
