I posted this a while back with little response. I think the OSMF should definitely submit a response which we can discuss here, and which the OSMF members can vote on (or whatever the OSMF procedure is). My view is that the OSMF response should at a minimum encourage the release of as much data as possible; address the licensing question to ensure compatability; encourage timely releases of data in suitable formats; and cite some case studies where other comparable data sets have been imported into OSM. With this mass of data being released will we in the UK be become script > authors concerned with data imports with less relevance (or desire) to do > ground surveys? > I'm sure we must collect data not held by OS, and I'm fairly confident that the Government won't force the release of as much data as we'd like.
