I'm pleased to say that they have now given a judgement, as below. As you 
can see, they've given a positive statement that the data as licensed *is* 
permissible to use as a source for use in OpenStreetMap.

This decision will be reflected in their minutes which should be published 
in due course at:
https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Working_Group_Minutes#Licensing_Working_Group

I will shortly be circulating a proposed mapping of CID -> OSM attributes, 
reflecting the published schema of the finalised version of the dataset, 
for comment.

Dear Martin,

As indicated we had a quick look at this at our meeting this evening and 
believe that it is unproblematic to use this data in or as a source for 
OpenStreetMap.

Thank you for documenting this so well and if you have the opportunity, 
please convey our gratitude to TfL for making the data available and taking 
the trouble to ensure that it is usable on the presented licensing terms, 
which, unluckily, is not the norm.

Kind regards

Simon
