[Talk-GB] Lancashire prow_ref format (Was: Public Rights of Way - legal vs reality)

[Adam Snape]

Hi,

I'm so glad the information is being used and progress is being made.
However, I do have to agree with Rob about the Council's online map.

Re:OS copyright they are really highly protective about what they perceive
to be derived data. I think it would be difficult to add rights of way
whilst consulting the Council's OS-based map, yet completely avoid using
any geographic information in it at any point to clarify, adjust or update
the routes or surrounding features.

But, in any case, we definitely do not have the Council's permission to use
the data in the online map, which does differ slightly from the dataset
they supplied in response to my foi/ rpsi request in 2018. It may seem
trivial but we need explicit permission when using data for OSM, so I
really do suggest we avoid this source.

Please keep up the good work though,

Adam
