There's an interesting discussion about Ordnance Survey copyright and
related issues, courtesy of the British Cartograph Society, at:

Note that the OS weren't involved in the article (despite the
question/answer format).  I think the Ordnance Survey side of the
discussion is extracted from published OS regulations.
