Right, there's no way we can ever discuss this licensing without getting one thing clear. The OS OpenData license is not CC-By 3.0 . It's not any kind of creative commons license. I would advise anyone who (mistakenly) thinks it is CC-BY to read the following licenses: http://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/oswebsite/opendata/licence/docs/licence.pdf http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/legalcode Notice how they involve different words in a different order. Notice also that one contains the phrase "database rights" and the other does not. The differences are significant in our context. So please, if anyone is going to make any comment on whether or not we can use data licensed under the OS OpenData license lets please have an accurate discussion based on the actual OS OpenData license.
