On the ones I've seen, that's because OS have put a redirect on http://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/oswebsite/docs/licences/os-opendata-licence.pdf to take people to http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/doc/open-government-licence/version/3/ . Given that they don't own all the rights to the PRoW data, and there's no upgrade clause in their OS-OpenData-Licence, I don't see how they would have the power to unilaterally re-licence PRoW data released by councils. So if the link text says "OS OpenData Licence" I think we have to assume that that's the licence the data was released under, regardless of where the link takes you now. Of course, RoWMaps might be out of date, and the council might have re-licensed their data now, but this would need to be checked.
