Yup, it'll be full CC now.

I think I did get a GPS fix in one bit of Hammersmith station, but yeah, 
it's hard unless you go and stand outside the entrance


Ideally, you'd just wander round, and make a note whenever you get to a 
tube station. When you get back, add it to the wiki, and to OSM. The 
position in OSM might get tweaked slightly, and hence our maps improved, 
but the PD info on the wiki is still good enough for almost everyone else.

If you know you added a station (the API won't tell us), I can download 
the history of that node, and just add the original location to the wiki - 
that'll be ok licencing wise (assuming you're happy to PD your work in 
adding them)
