While we're on out-of-copyright maps, am I safe copying stuff from a 1945
OS map?  (I have a 1945 map of the Southampton area) Could I put data
copied from a 1945 OS map (e.g. names of features in the New Forest) under
a Creative Commons licence? Just want to double-check it; I believe it's 50
years (i.e 1945 is easily safe...)
