Such paths are not going to have finger boards with "public footpath" on
them. In other threads, I sense quite a strong lobby for only mapping
rights of way that are so marked on the ground and ignoring any
designation that only appears in a map.
As such, you will end up with at best a permissive status recorded on
OSM. Even that is actually likely to be subjective.
