[Talk-GB] Glasgow Open OS Data for Open Street Map

[Rob Nickerson]

Tim, All,

Despite what it says on http://data.glasgow.gov.uk/ this is NOT available
under an OpenData licence. It is a developers license and would not allow
use in OpenStreetMap:

I am starting to get very annoyed about how local authorities simply do not
understand the difference between OGL, OS's OpenData Licence and other
licences such as this one. As an end user, if I see OGL on
data.glasgow.gov.uk then I should be abe to trust it is correct. As things
currently stand you cannot trust it.

Please fill in the following survey from OS to make it clear that their OS
OpenData license is often mixed up with OGL. I suggest that you recommend
that OS drop their licence and switch to vanilla OGL.
