I totally agree with Rob, we are tied by the law. The OS need to
realise that the data they hold was paid for by us and to restrict its
use by Govt is plain wrong. The HA should understand this so they can
pressure their Ministers to open things up.

I'll let them them know about the copyright situation (which I was
fully aware from day one was a concern) and there is no real
interest from the OSM community for establishing this.
John,
Please don't tell the Highways Agency that as it is *not* the case.
The blame lies with the Ordnance Survey and their reluctance to make
it easy for public sector bodies to release map data based on their
products. I would rather you highlight that to Highways Agency so that
they know where the real blame lies.
And yes, if they have maps that are based on OS OpenData (for example
the OS StreetView maps) then I would love to see them. This is how we
are working with Birmingham City Council to get maps of their proposed
20mph zones.
Perhaps step one is to find out what they have.
Rob
