Regardless of arguments about whether or not map data belongs in Fedora, I wonder what we think of the new Ordnance Survey OpenData license?

It seems to be Free (as in Freedom) to my untrained eyes.
More about the map data release here:

They have a rather peculiar system for obtaining this data. If you are a UK citizen and resident, you can order (for free) a DVD containing the data you select, which will be sent by snail mail to your home. I ordered the street map DVD for my local area just to see what I'd get.
[OT for Fedora] Hopefully if the license above is free, we can pool the data that people order together and make it available in some more direct way.
