SO, It turns out - we cannot use these images until the scanner's copyright expires at the end of next year. Happily, it seems like there will be GB-wide coverage available at that point, not just the London-Southend-Brighton area.
However, I have been happily using these images for a bit less than a year now, so I'm looking for advice on How to redact. I've tagged all the relevant changesets with the name of the TMS, so it should be possible. 1. Is there an overpass syntax that would let me download (to JOSM) - all ways with addr:housenumber added or changed via a changeset with a certain source tag? (and not updated by something else later) 2. Could I then wipe all such addr:housenumbers and re-upload? 3. Could I keep a JOSM session file around to reupload the addr:housenumbers once the scanner's copyright has elapsed? This has come to light thanks to IpswitchMapper's tireless efforts to set up a tasking manager for adding housenumber, and thank to Rob-from-OSMF's communications with NLS. --- https://hdyc.neis-one.org/?spiregrain spiregrain_...@ksglp.org.uk On Mon, 16 Nov 2020, at 10:55 AM, Ken Kilfedder wrote: > Hi Mark, > > If there is absolute confidence in that, can it be added to the wiki page > here: > https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/National_Library_of_Scotland > > And can it be added to the default set of old maps in JOSM? > > If it is available for use, not point in keeping it a secret. > > --- > https://hdyc.neis-one.org/?spiregrain > spiregrain_...@ksglp.org.uk > > On Fri, 30 Oct 2020, at 6:47 PM, Mark Goodge wrote: > > > > > > On 30/10/2020 18:37, Mateusz Konieczny via Talk-GB wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > > Oct 30, 2020, 16:28 by talk-gb@openstreetmap.org: > > > > > > It has come to my attention that the "Town Plan" map from 1944-1967 > > > in NLS is available freely. > > > > > > What are its licensing terms? > > > > > > "available freely" does not mean "compatible with OSM license" > > > > It's out of copyright, so there aren't any licensing issues in deriving > > data from it. > > > > I would, though, be a little reluctant to use it as a basis for > > wholesale numbering without any supporting local knowledge or survey. > > House numbers can, and sometimes do, change, particularly when streets > > are renamed or rebuilt.
