I've just noticed (changeset 18037116) someone using this Land Registry data search tool to actually populate, rather than simply flag for re-survey postcode data. Given that the Land Registry require a copyright notice, and, unlike OS Open Data, there is no such copyright notice on OSM, is this

Oh I should add that I am a fan of source tags on the objects myself so I add a source:postcode=Land Registry 'Price Paid' data tag (or =ONS Postcode Centroids) to my edits. Not everyone agrees that source tags should be added to the objects, preferring instead to add them to the changeset
