The ONS website explicitly states that their postcode products are OGL

The OGL only applies to the parts of the data that relevant government organisation has the ability to grant rights to.  It excepts "third party rights the Information Provider is not authorised to license;". As such being OGL doesn't meant that you have a right to any RM data it may contain.

Yes, but the ONS website licensing page lists the exceptions to OGL in its products. It is quite clear about the extent of OGL, and the data to which it does not apply. And it doesn't list the user type flag in postcode data as an exception. So, as far as ONS are concerned, the user type is OGL. That is the only valid conclusion from their wording.
