Does anyone know the origins and/or legal status of this dataset?
It's great that it's there, but can we use it for OpenStreetMap? My
instinct is no, because all the possible sources are under copyright and it
must have been scraped from somewhere. (We could all scrape
streetmap.co.uk, for example, but I'm not about to do that.)

Best,
Tom.
