Looking at https://maps.nls.uk/copyright.html#exceptions am I right in thinking that the non-commercial contract restriction also applies to some other NLS layers (e.g. OS 1:25k and 7th series scans) which have been available (and being used) in popular OSM editors for some time now? Do we have some specific permission to use those layers, and if so does that permission apply to the new house number layer as well?
