Indeed.

Don't forget, too, that Tesco probably didn't create the data themselves -
they might have sent a guy out with a GPS to each of their stores, but I
doubt it. More likely it's referenced against some external, commercial,
protected-up-to-the-eyeballs dataset. Even if someone in Tesco's "Customer
Contact Centre" (or whatever) says yes, they likely aren't aware of upstream
copyright issues.
