I'm a bit unsure license-wise. README talks about | OSTN02 transformation data is freely available but remains Crown Copyright (C) 2002 my impression is that there are some of those data included; the license I found on the http://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk site also doesn't make me completely happy at first glance: Files: * Comment: various files in the source tarball seem to include OSTN02/OSGM02 data Copyright: 2002, Crown Copyright License: other Copyright and any database right or other intellectual property right in the OSTN02 data available from this site, however it is made available, belongs to Ordnance Survey (and is therefore Crown copyright). Copyright and any database right or other intellectual property right in OSGM02 data available from this site, however it is made available, belongs jointly to Ordnance Survey, Ordnance Survey Northern Ireland (and is protected by Crown copyright) and Ordnance Survey Ireland. . Ordnance Survey and (where relevant) Ordnance Survey Northern Ireland and Ordnance Survey Ireland permit users to copy or incorporate copyrighted material from both OSTN02, the OSi/OSNI polynomial transformation, or OSGM02 either onto their own PCs or into their software. However, this is dependant on the appropriate copyright notice being displayed in the software. The appropriate notices are '© Ordnance Survey Ireland, 2002' or '© Crown copyright 2002. All rights reserved.' as applicable. The appropriate mapping agency logo must also appear next to the copyright notice. Details of mapping agency logos are found in the style guides available on the web site. * "copy or incorporate" -> modify? distribute? * logos? In short: reviews/comments (esp. from someone more familiar with British Crown Copyright) welcome! Cheers, gregor -- .''`.
