Wouldn't any accurate description of the post codes necessarily be a derivative of that official database? If you're not sure of the answer maybe this is a question for the legal list, but what methods, if any, are allowed to create a free database from an officially defined (non-physical) non-free one? Basically, you just launder the data through a bunch of different others until it can no longer be traced to the original source? In the end, the source is always necessarily that officially maintained database.
