However, that doesn't change the fact that the OS OpenData license is
incompatible with the contributor terms, and DbCL, and quite possibly
ODbL too.
I thought this was still to be confirmed? It may not be that important to
townies but there is a lot of value in the OS data for rural mappers
(woods,
streams, rivers, coastline, etc.) and it is a crucial issue for me.
It is still to be confirmed. The situation at the moment is there is no
guarantee that OS OpenData is compatible with the CT's.
Hence if you currently contribute anything based on OS OpenData to OSM you
run the risk that you will be prevented from contributing to OSM in the
future.
I am aware that the LWG have been considering the matter since at least 8
June [1] , but that as 17 August they have yet to ask legal counsels opinion
on this [2].
