Hello Rob,

Fair point for 1. For 2, though, I don't think there's a blanket ban on using 
the tileserver from a web front end unless it gets very heavily used - I think 
apps are more of a problem.

Subject: [OSM-talk]  Royal Mail Incorrect OSM Usage


I think it's nice that the Royal Mail have chosen to use OSM for the backdrop 
to their site for Great Britain Golden Postbox listings to celebrate Team GB 
successes in the current Olympics:

1. I think a certain Attribution clause is missing[1]
2. I think they are merely pointing to the OSM main tileserver 
(tile.openstreetmap.org) - this doesn't seem in keeping with the OSM Tile Usage 
Policy[2]

Be Seeing You - Rob.
