OS's OpenData License was released last few days of March 2010.

A few minutes ago OS demo'ed OSM Potlatch using OS's OpenData
Streetview Raster Tiles at the AGI GeoCommunity conference. *shock

There is interest in working together.
Henk of LWG is at the conference and reported the following a few
