Hmm. Good point. Most of the data in Ian's database is contributed by the trigpointers - reports of visits to the trigs. Most of the data about the actual trigs on the site (position etc) comes from the OS. See this page https://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/gps/legacy-control-information/triangulation-stations, which says "This data, which is no longer maintained, is available for use under Open Government Licence Terms."That page provides a downloadable CSV giving the names used by the OS. position, type, status etc. However, the names starting TP seem to be created by Ian, so I think he owns them, just as Royal Mail owns the postcode data.
