When I spoke to the guys in the OKFN mailing list, they said that it
would probably be fine to just go ahead and use it, since it was all
rather murky. I would prefer to be more sure with something that I try
and put into OSM though, rather than just my own project.

IANAL but AFAIK that means you have no rights whatsoever, you can't
even read them, let alone create derived works (eg. CSV) or distribute
(via OSM), without getting permission from the copyright holders.
It seems like that's not what they intended. Maybe email them and ask?

Hi all,
I came across this the other day:
http://www.education.gov.za/EMIS/EMISDownloads/tabid/466/Default.aspx
It is spatial data for all the schools in the country. I am not sure
whether
this can be used or not, but it might be useful nonetheless,
especially for
rural schools. I am not 100% sure what the guidelines on importing
this sort
of data are.
The data is in Excel format, but I am converting it to .csv (and
probably as
shapefiles) for another project. I will upload them somewhere useful
later,
and post the link, if anyone wants to grab them.
