Hi
The changeset comment is absolutely correct, we must not copy from OS maps, any 
such changes should be reverted.

It is worth remembering that the PROWs shown on OS maps is an overlay provided 
by the highway authority. These lines often differ from the on the ground 
reality which is what we map in OSM. 

Are you sure the original mapping was incorrect? If you have walked it then you 
can use that information to update the map but OS PROWs on their own should be 
taken with a large pinch of salt.

Hi all,

An enthusiastic new contributor in the Lakes area has admitted using OS
data in one of their changesets ­— afaik copying from OS walking maps
is not allowed, and I don’t think any of the OS OpenData data sets
include PRoW designations (I’m happy to be corrected on this).

What’s the right thing to do here?
