You could be right. But the part I quoted from http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/guide-method/geography/beginner-s-guide/licences/index.html , namely "The ONS postcode directories are subject to the Open Government Licence, and Ordnance Survey OpenData Licence." occurs before the "For those who also use the Northern Ireland data ..." part, so I would take the former to apply to the non-NI bits of the data. Which means that there's presumably some OS-ODC licensed data in there. > If you see the full statement on the licenses > page then it states clearly that the data is available under OGL (see > below). The same statement is also made in the download file itself. Oops. I hadn't spotted that. It looks like ONS is getting just as confused as I am with the different licenses. It seems that the license ONS is providing the data under is fine for OSM then. :-) (I'd still suspect that there is some Royal Mail IP in there, via CodePoint Open or similar, which previously Royal Mail haven't let us use. If this is the case, I guess we just have to hope that either they've changed their mind, or they don't notice what ONS are doing with their data!) I'm sorry for the unnecessary interruption.
