I will currently be one of the people locked out because I have used
the Ordnance Survey open data which is apparently incompatible with
the new license. I have therefore not accepted the new terms because I
can't. It is possible that the OS situation will get resolved in the
next few months but there has been no progress in the past 9 months on
the issue to my knowledge.

I have contributed regularly since joining in October 2006.

Interestingly people who have registered very recently and who signed
up using the new terms and conditions do still have the OS Open data
layers available to them (OS StreetView and OS Locator)  even though
these are the data sources that are the reason why I can't sign up!

Incidentally, I have also been in private communication with the
Foundation in relation to their articles of association which need
attention prior to any license switch according to legal advice that
we received some time ago. There is a working group for the articles
review but it apparently hasn't actually done anything for the past 6
months .
