[Talk-GB] Derby Meeting next month: location tba
Dear All, John Baker (Rovastar) informs me that the Old Silk Mill (our normal venue) is currently closed, perhaps for refurbishment. Therefore at present our location for next month's meeting remains to be confirmed, If the Old Silk MIll has not reopened by then, likely alternatives are The Alex and The Brunswick close to Derby railway station.

The newer transformations used to produce highly accurate grid references may be, but in fact OS has licensed the most recent (OSTN15) under the permissive BSD licence: https://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/business-and-government/help-and-support/navigation-technology/os-net/formats-for-developers.html Richard -- Sent from: http://gis.19327.n8.nabble.com/Great-Britain-f5372682.html ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb

I've found conflicting opinions: The issue is not a grid ref itself as such, but the data tables that are necessary to do a fully accurate conversion between OSGB and WG84 (or any other coordinate system). There is a simplified algorithmic transformation but a fully accurate conversion requires the OSTN02 data. I'm not sure what the current status is but they certainly used to claim various IP rights over it.

[Talk-GB] OS National Grid References
Are these covered by copyright? I've found conflicting opinions: out of copyright in 1986 - since it was 50 years since the introduction of the NG in 1936 and "current case law supports this ownership, given in Ordnance Survey vs Younger and others (Ch 10 April 1995), in which Sir Jeremy Vinelott, sitting as a Judge of the High Court, ruled that "OS copyright material includes the National Grid" and that "the OS retain the right to refuse to allow ... [someone] ... to use the National Grid", a right taken up in that case. " Can anyone shed any light on this? regards Brian ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb

I will do the one 20 meters from my home, once they start going. They're currently still preparing, but I am keeping an eye on it (quite literally from the living room!). cheers, Derick -- https://derickrethans.nl | https://xdebug.org | https://dram.io Like Xdebug?
