The whole database should be public domain, and any third party pushing

my own 'need' for OSM has been somewhat diluted since I have an open
alternative. I was looking at mirroring my own copy of OSM, but the OS
data
gives me the facilities I need with less hassle.
Doesn't OS require attribution if you use their data?
Same as adding a link to OSM where that is the source ...
So your original suggestion that the OS recognises your suggestion
about things should be public domain is patently false.
No I said 'free access to this sort of data'. But I don't see that having the
courtesy to recognise where data can from should be any sort of a problem.
'Requiring it' just acknowledges that some people do not extend that common
courtesy. I find no restrictions on what I need to do with the data.
