I have no problem with licencing but the UPRN and related data is
managed by Authority custodians - do they not retain ownership of that data?
If the authorities sell it to OS, then should this be raised with The Rt
Hon Alok Sharma MP (he owns 100% of the shares of OS)?
N.B. there are some aspects to address data that is subject to other IP
rights but the remainder..... is surely of public interest and value.

Do you have a plausible hypothesis to explain the removal of UPRNs
from the flood warning pages, that also gives us a reason to trust the

It's almost certainly because some lawyer or other spotted that it's a
violation of the PSGA (formerly PSMA) license under which the
AddressBase data is made available to the Environment Agency.

There's no conspiracy here beyond OS zealously protecting its data, as
it always has done.
