They have definitely received a file of 3,500 not:name entries and
there are people within the OS keen to develop relationships with the
OSM community and use the data. However... it is a very large and long
established organisation which doesn't seem to move that fast! What I
do know is that it will be getting harder and harder for them to not
engage and that the government is very supportive of what we are
doing.
