Hi Joe, There's further useful guidance on the wiki, inc on the licensing point: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Guidelines
There's also a regular pub meet-up where you'll find people more up to date and knowledgeable than me! The next is on Thurs 28th: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/London One thing they might have thoughts on is how to involve the wider OSM London community, for example in checking and cleaning data that can be imported, or manually adding data. I recall one import many years ago of TfL bus stop data, where we then had to go through removing lots of duplicates, and quite often we found that the TfL data was less accurate than existing OSM data! So it was worth checking each one with a survey.
