Hi all
You may notice that this project comes from the same teaM AS vision of
Britain, so maybe lessons have been learned. Also OS were involved in
Vision of Britain when they hadn't heard of open licences, before they
fought openness.

I'd be very interested in this providing it has a decent licence. AFAIK
Vision of Britain has a restrictive licence which means that I have
spent some time recreating small parts of their data on OHM (e.g.,
London Boroughs of the LCC). There's still a tendency for academia to
choose Non-commercial licences, which means local historians still need
permission to use the data in their, typically, modestly priced
publications. Of course just like Google & OSM, the sceptre of
ancestry.com <http://ancestry.com> probably affects the licence model.
Yes I was just saying earlier today at SotM that I'd dearly
love to get hold of the historical boundary data that Vision of
Britain has but chooses for some reason only to make available
to people with an academic affiliation....
