I think it certainly does give permission.  See the bit with 'you may...'
If they had written 'This means that you may turn up at Ordnance Survey
headquarters with a can of spraypaint and write FREE DATA NOW on the door',
well in that case, it would be giving permission to do that.

If they say 'this means that you can do X', then they are giving you
permission to do X!
