[Talk-GB] Data licenses, surveys, and disagreements with signs on the ground.

[Chris Hodges]

A track in Conham Riverside Park 
(https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/8453995 ) has a fixme "this is signed 
as footpath but OS show it as a bridleway".  I can confirm the sign on 
the ground at the road end says public footpath, and there's a stile.


However Rowmaps and MapThePaths (which I believe use the same dataset as 
each other) show it as a bridleway.  I'd update on that basis but 
MapThePaths says "Public bridleway, ref KW 72/10 License: Not OSM 
compatible".  The route was presumably mapped by survey, but does the 
incompatible license mean we can't even use the designation?


The council have put bike racks at the bottom, which I've just added, 
but the path along the riverbank is definitely open to cyclists at least 
those of us who can handle the mud so that's not much of a guide.  (I've 
also added the steps to give access to the river - it's a popular 
swimming spot even in winter.)
