[Talk-GB] Response from Hampshire County Council

[Gregory]

Hi Nick,
It's not clear where the e-mail ends and your commenting starts.

If the paragraph "So in short, we believe the RoW data can..." is there's,
then I'd support using it in OpenStreetMap. I believe it's commonly
accepted that acknowledgement/copyright/attribution made in the relevant
wiki page (imports catalogue?) and in a source tag for the changeset, is
acceptable.
