Correct, although anyone would be allowed to overlay the Forestry Commission boundaries onto OSM mapping to create an 'collective work' or a 'collection'. The OSM mapping element would available as ccbysa the boundary data would be (c) crown copyright. He resulting work would be (c) to whoever produced it. Not sure yet what the terms of use of the boundary data is. It would indeed be illegal to build the boundaries into OSM itself. On a separate note, an OSM map with overlaid crime data produced by us is included in the Daily Mail top story today. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1352354/Police-crime-map-website-crashes-75-000-people-MINUTE-log-on.html I will be doing a blog post on the ITO blog soon with some more details maps if anyone is interested.
