yes, but I can see how it could look flippant. Sorry! Basically there are not many open data sources of house addresses. From what I hazily remember the courts already publicly publish on paper for anyone to view the names and addresses of people involved. I gathered that they include the addresses because there may be more than one John Smith going to trial at any one time. They may also do this for weddings.. I could be wrong, and my memory is fuzzy - hence the email wondering if they would publish them. If anyone knows, please enlighten us! I think it's likely that postcodes are excluded, but you never know. It's also likely that this information even if published on paper may not be on an API - makes sense, but again who knows! If there is a source of addresses, it is useful: * Mappers can use it to check to see if the street exists and has been mapped * Mappers keen on adding in addresses to streets can use it (or a bot) to validify that there is that number on the specified street. * FreeThePostcode or other open postcode database etc could be added to. The postcode and address exists, it can be contributed to. Assuming the licenses are compatible.
