I don't want to divert from Jerry's main points, but I just want to
make sure no-one misreads his reply the same way I just did. The OGL
does not have any viral attribution clause - which happens to be the
point I was making in my reply to Matthijs earlier today! It's the
Ordnance Survey's version of OGL which has a viral attribution clause.
I agree with Jerry's analysis, but I note that there's no _viral_
attribution when using data that is under the standard OGL (and is
uncontaminated by any second-hand OSGB content).

Best
Dan
