[Talk-GB] [OHM] New York Public Library - Building Inspector

[SK53]

The 1:2500 maps, and many other large scale maps on the Warwickshire site
were digitised and rectified by Landmark Information
Group<http://www.landmark.co.uk/>,
who own the copyright in the images and of course in their rectified form.
Landmark. Landmark have a commericial business, Old-Maps which sells
reproduction (IIRC for non-commercial use) online<http://www.old-maps.co.uk/>.


The use of these maps at the moment for OSM or OHM purposes appears to be
"out-of-bounds"
