I can't answer your questions, but I'm also interested in the legality
of using postcode information for open mapping purposes. Would it be
legal to walk around Edinburgh ringing on doorbells and asking people
what their postcode was, and then publish a database mapping postcode to
address or lon/lat?
On a related but more informed theme, the postal services regulator is
having a consulation on the Royal Mail's management of the PAF. Lots of
viewpoints here ...
