FWIW I have certainly had confirmation, more than once, that the "someone else" 
i.e Hampshire County Council agree and they appear to have got confirmation 
from the OS too.
This is an OpenData licence set.

I think some unambiguous consensus on this needs to be made clear by the OSMF 
or whoever - as everyone seems to say different things which leaves many 
confused. I will still admit to having no idea as to whether I can use the HCC 
data or not - and I've been contributing to OSM for 8 years!

"You need to formally ask:  Any other dataset published under the OS

by OS if any)."

is unclear: ask who? 

Ask the organisation doing the publishing (eg Norfolk CC), or OS?

My impression of the Mike Collinson dialogue was that OS basically agreed that 
*indirect* use of their mapbase in this fashion as the context for someone 
else's data was OK, but that the "someone else" also had to agree, not that OS 
had to be asked each and every time. Robert's interpretation is that OS have to 
be asked every time.

Perhaps the wiki text could be made more explicit.

But as far I I know, that would be incorrect. According to Michael
Collinson's post at
https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-gb/2013-July/015028.html

"LWG view on use of data in OSM under OS OpenData License:

Yes: OS OpenData product except CodePoint

No:  CodePoint (a Royal Mail response to Chris Hill needs further
investigation)

You need to formally ask:  Any other dataset published under the OS
OpenData License by other organisations, such as English Heritage, (or
by OS if any)."

So unless something has changed since then that I'm not aware of, LWG
consider that data licensed under the OS OpenData Licence *cannot* be
included in OSM, unless it's either one of the specific OS OpenData
products (except CodePoint Open) or you formally ask for permission
from the rights holders.

Robert.
