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

[SK53]

Tom is quite right, this is in no way shape or form an Open Licence for the
OSGB material.

Nor is the Glasgow Open Licence strictly speaking Open, as it prevents use
for "Illegal or Immoral purposes" without defining the latter. It is
another pernicious OGL fork.

Ironically, one of the suggested uses of the Open Data is for cyclists:
Glasgow does release open data with a sensible licence for cyclists. It
comes from OSM.
