[Talk-GB] OS Map Rules

Hi all,

I signed up to this list because I have a question which I couldn't find
explicitly answered online - apologies if I've got some of the etiquette
wrong.

I was thinking of using a paper OS map to identify public footpaths
which are not currently on OSM, and use it to plan and navigate (map and
compass) a route along those paths.

If I get a GPS trace (e.g. with OSMTracker) while I walk that route, is
it acceptable to use this GPS data to update OSM, or would it be
considered a derivative of OS data?

Kind regards,
Andrew
