<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I totally agree with Rob, we are tied
by the law. The OS need to realise that the data they hold was
paid for by us and to restrict its use by Govt is plain wrong.
The HA should understand this so they can pressure their Ministers
to open things up.<br>

I'll let them them know about the copyright situation

<div class="gmail_extra">Please don't tell the Highways Agency
that as it is *not* the case. The blame lies with the Ordnance
Survey and their reluctance to make it easy for public sector
bodies to release map data based on their products. I would
rather you highlight that to Highways Agency so that they know
where the real blame lies.<br>
<br>
And yes, if they have maps that are based on OS OpenData (for
example the OS StreetView maps) then I would love to see them.
This is how we are working with Birmingham City Council to get
maps of their proposed 20mph zones.<br>
