The transaction-limited versions don't appear to be being released as OGL;
OS is simply offering a free starter tariff for them. OS draws a distinction
on their product page between "for free up to a threshold" and "completely
open under Open Government Licence (OGL)" (it's that old free speech/beer
thing again).

So the property extents are the only new data being released as OGL for now,
with the possibility of UPRN/USRN data later on.
