[OSM-talk] UK post box data

[Tom Taylor]

Hello all,

I recently made a Freedom of Information Act request for the location  
of every UK post box. Royal Mail responded with a 1600 page PDF  
containing their info.

I did some parsing of the PDF, and it seems that of the 114,000 post  
boxes in the UK, 50599 seem to have valid postcode data.

I'm currently geocoding these postcodes using Yahoo's service, and  
wondered if the resulting longitudes and latitudes would be of  
interest to OSM and could be integrated. I'm not entirely clear on the  
licensing of it. Can anyone clarify?

Cheers,

Tom
