I know I am replying to a two-month-old message, but the idea of
restrictions on entering postal codes is baffling. At least in the USA,
the Post Office encourages the use of postal codes (called Zip codes) on
mail, to expedite the delivery of mail, and used to publish large
reference books listing the postal codes for every address in a
particular area. Nowadays, they have a web site where you can enter an
address, and look up the postal code for that address. What would be
the purpose of postal codes that aren't told to the general public? Or,
is it that the postal code boundaries are restricted, but the postal
code for a given address is not restricted?

Perish the thought that people might add their local knowledge to OSM. I
thought it was all imports, armchairing and tagwanking these days.
Only Canadians are allowed to enter their own post codes. The other
countries haven't had their lawsuits resolved yet.
