Sorry Andy - meant to send this to the list.

My strong feeling the data itself should always be free, certainly for
non-commercial entities and ideally for commercial entities too - just like
the GPL and other free software licences like BSD. Any revenue streams I
feel  should follow the pattern already exhibited in the free software
world, e.g support services (would this be relevant here though?) or box
sets (in our case, printed maps). Even advertising would be ok as long as
it was relevant, e.g. a Freemap map of the New Forest could feature
advertising by local businesses.
