[Talk-GB] Geospatial Commission to release UPRN/ UPSN identifiers under Open Government Licence

[Brian Prangle]

Can I ask two  basic daft questions?
What use are these in OSM if we only pick at them instead of importing the
lot ( which is  highly unlikely)?
Is it possible to derive street names from USRN in a way that is licence
compatible?

Regards

Brian
