Hi Nick,<div>It's not clear where the e-mail ends and your commenting starts.</div><div><br></div><div>If the paragraph "<span style>So in short, we believe the RoW data can..." is there's, then I'd support using it in OpenStreetMap. I believe it's commonly accepted that acknowledgement/copyright/attribution made in the relevant wiki page (imports catalogue?) and in a source tag for the changeset, is acceptable.</span></div>

<br>"In answer to the queries below, the data is free to use as is the OS<br>open data on their website.<br><br>The data was originally captured against the 10k raster data, meaning it<br>carried OS IPR. However, OS introduced an exemption process that<br>
allowed creators of data with IPR (Derived Data) to apply for an<br>exemption. <br><br>Cambridgeshire were the first to successfully do this, we then used<br>their process/application to apply to have Hampshire's exempt, which was<br>
granted. Following this we can now release the data using the OS open<br>data licence, as the exemption basiclaly means that it can be used in<br>the same manner as the data that OS have published themselves as open.<br>
<br>The query as to our data being on the OS site I think refers to the line<br>in the licence where OS are actually saying their Open Data is on the<br>site, not all data that gets published under the licence, for example<br>
our RoW data.<br><br>So in short, we believe the RoW data can be incorporated into<br>OpenStreetmap as long as acknowledgement and copyright is shown from<br>where it came and how can be used"<br><br>So in summary it appears that the OS gave HCC specific permission to use this, and I'm guessing it's OK to use in OSM, but I am not in any sense of the word a legal expert so, what are people's opinions on this?<br>
<br>Thanks,<br>Nick<br></font></font>
