Following on from this, am I correct in assuming that the only definitive source of mapping information about public rights of way is the OS? It seems ludicrous that *public* rights of way are effectively copyrighted in this manner. I suppose it's analagous to the issue with council boundaries.
My local council (Suffolk) refer to the "definitive map" here: https://www.csduk.com/CSD/Transportandstreets/Public+rights+of+way/PublicRightsOf+WayDefinitiveMap.htm but make no mention of who owns the copyright. They do however recommend (OS) Explorer maps for walkers, which suggests it may be the OS. Wouldn't it be great if we could persuade councils to let OSM use the information, free of restrictions? Or maybe even add it to OSM themselves. Hey, we can all dream ...
