There's what looks like a stupid field of use restriction if your use
is actually endorsed by the Provider, due to it missing the CC-style
"express prior written permission" language.  I've had some replies
from nationalarchives people, discussions continue, ask me next week.

It also seems a bit like unnecessary licence proliferation.
