Can I suggest that you copy your request/response to the Out of copyright page in the UK maps section on the wiki so we don't loose it. Do also provide a reference back the this thread. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Out-of-copyright_maps It could also be good to register it with WhatDoTheyKnow although I am not sure how one does that. http://www.whatdotheyknow.com/ I agree with TimSC - it would be very hard for them to argue against their own advice in court and I think we can safely take their response at face-value. Good work!
