The risk all along was that the OS could take offence to how we are using the data (the local authorities we forced to use the OS OpenData licence when they just wanted to make the data available as open). Yeah of course the OS cannot retrospectively change the licence of things released in the past but the fact that they have removed the licence text from their website and put a url redirect to the OGL suggests to me that the OS OpenData licence is dead. The risk is gone so lets not pretend otherwise as it will just send a negative message to our community.<br><br></div><div>In time we can and should ask each LA to use the new licence but this shouldn't stop anyone from using the data now.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br></font></span></div><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><div><br></div>Rob<br></font></span></div>
