One would assume the Ordnance Survey have taken legal advice on their OpenSpace, which appears to state that point based derivation from an OS map would belong to the OS: http://openspace.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/openspace/faq.html sections 2.1 and 2.2; and http://openspace.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/openspace/developeragreement.html has their definition of Derived Data which includes "any Data created by You or an End User identifying the location or other attribute of any new feature directly using Our mapping". I did misunderstand your previous email (obviously if you used Google maps search to look up a postcode, then clicked on the map, I imagine that would be a worse position), and I do agree with what you say (my postbox locating thing revolves around a presumably similar issue).
