Nice work, but as the OS data is a good dataset and compatible with our current license why would anyone be surprised that people are using it. I've uploaded woods and waterways for my area so it looks pretty blue but the streets were surveyed on the ground and I would think that might be the same for quite a few areas. This sort of data (woods, streams, etc.) is a bit less core to the map than areas where people are filling in missing streets from OS data.
In 6 months time the OS data will be so entrenched in the UK map that we could never strip it out in any useful way without vast amounts of fixup being required and I can't imagine many people being interested in doing that. So for me at least whatever license we change to must be OS compatible.
