Yes, to my knowledge (as neither a lawyer nor a LWG member) it's kosher to use in OSM. I've added an acknowledgement to the contributors page: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Contributors#Database_of_registered_common_land_in_England I've been doing some exploratory retagging of leisure=common and, at least in London, the majority are small areas which would be better tagged as landuse=grass. In urban areas any remaining larger areas of leisure=common are usually best tagged as leisure=park or landuse=recreation_ground, but I also found a few nature reserves. In rural areas, tagging of grassland is a much-debated subject which is outside the scope of this thread, but I will not judge. I suspect there are far more leisure=common areas which are not legally commons than which are, but it definitely looks like a good cleanup project in general.
