Hello everyone, Re: the Hampshire ROW data - this is the response I got from the person I am in contact with.
"In answer to the queries below, the data is free to use as is the OS open data on their website. The data was originally captured against the 10k raster data, meaning it carried OS IPR. However, OS introduced an exemption process that allowed creators of data with IPR (Derived Data) to apply for an exemption. Cambridgeshire were the first to successfully do this, we then used their process/application to apply to have Hampshire's exempt, which was granted. Following this we can now release the data using the OS open data licence, as the exemption basiclaly means that it can be used in the same manner as the data that OS have published themselves as open. The query as to our data being on the OS site I think refers to the line in the licence where OS are actually saying their Open Data is on the site, not all data that gets published under the licence, for example our RoW data. So in short, we believe the RoW data can be incorporated into OpenStreetmap as long as acknowledgement and copyright is shown from where it came and how can be used" So in summary it appears that the OS gave HCC specific permission to use this, and I'm guessing it's OK to use in OSM, but I am not in any sense of the word a legal expert so, what are people's opinions on this? Thanks, Nick
