The property extents might be something that can be turned into landuse 
polygons. The existing ones where I live are very low quslity.

I think master map buildings could be really good for use for imagery offsets 
and to effectively ground truth surrounding traced features.

Just property extents: perhaps okay for positioning fences, walls etc?

I am certainly using OS 24 inch maps in that way to work out where one building 
ends and another begins. Of course that only works in areas that are unchanged 
for a very long time.

Certainly useful.

The transaction-limited versions don't appear to be being released as OGL;
OS is simply offering a free starter tariff for them. OS draws a distinction
on their product page between "for free up to a threshold" and "completely
open under Open Government Licence (OGL)" (it's that old free speech/beer
thing again).

So the property extents are the only new data being released as OGL for now,
with the possibility of UPRN/USRN data later on.

Releasing property extents under OGL is likely to be useful in the 
realms of planning and development. And UPRNs will benefit a lot of 
property-related businesses or those for which property forms an 
important part of their dataset.


The really big win, of course, would come from OGLing AddressBase. But, 
in the short term, UPRNs + OSM would make for a workable open source 
alternative.

There's a transaction threshold, so not fully opendata: although I'm sure
it could be gamed by a crowd!

Before getting overly excited, take a look at the (poorly attributed)
sample 1km sq in Exeter. Volume of data is very large with (just)
buildings, road & pavement edges, property boundaries etc. Ask what will it
improve in OSM other than precision: I suspect negligible impact on most
routing applications (as OSM uses a centre-line model, which AFAIK is in
the TIN layer of MM), mapping footpaths. On the (plus?) side lots of very
detailed buildings (but not necessarily changes from extensions), property
outlines (and perhaps this will change the status of the LR Inspire data).

For me the single most valuable aspect will not be MM data at all, but the
removal of licence doubts/issues about other datasets: notably those of
Natural England, SNH and NRW, but also various PRoW data collected by Barry
Cornelius.
