[Talk-GB] New user renaming highway=cycleway with NCN references

[Dave F]

I think you're combining two separate issues.

Designated cycle route NCN4 was implemented along the K&A canal long 
before 2012. There a was short time when a free license was required to 
officially use it.

Whether individual people had a license or not made no difference to 
it's status.
