Nobody has determined that OS data is incompatible (or that it cannot be 
made compatible if it is). At worst we have conflicting reports. I'll 
take legal advice over reported email comments in that case, though.

Quite a few of the people in this debate who are in favour of the ODbL 
are from the UK. We would be affected by the loss of OS data if that 
actually happens.
