I have been wondering how much data has been imported into OSM from OS Opendata and who has accepted the CTs. I still think that the CTs ask for rights to be granted that are broader than are granted by the Opendata license. This point is disputed by Richard and others. Here are the most

Being cast as the most guilty party threatening OSM by having the greatest number of OS data edits and signing the CTs - I thought I'd contribute to make it clear where I stand. I'm absolutely with Peter Miller on this. I trust the OSMF implicitly to get it right which is why I signed the CTs.

Perhaps the best course of action would be for an additional checkbox on the contributor terms page to say 'I have used OS OpenData'. Then people would be able to sign up to support the licence change, if they wish, and it would be up to the legal people at OSMF to decide whether the data from
