Think you've got your chronology the wrong way round there.
Blog post on moving to ODbL: January 2008. [1]
OS OpenData released: April 2010.
The campaign to get OS to release data started long before it happened, as you
well know. I don't know the precise date but would put a small wager that it
was before 01/08
You're way off, there was no campaign that I know of.
I thought lobbying the government was a total waste of time, which is why I
worked on OSM instead. The best you could say was that a few individuals
blogged about how the world would be better with open government data.
a) I wrote to my local MP about data availability in general & OS
specifically. I'm pretty sure I wasn't alone.
b) There was (is) a national newspaper campaign to "Free our Data".
c) There was a post on these forums saying that OSM was taking partial
credit for being responsible in getting OS data released.
As I asked you before, will I be able to use this data under the
proposed new regulations?
