This is brilliant, I've been following the Guardian's Free our Data campaign for years. The real problem wasn't the maps themselves, but OS claiming copyright over anything produced using its spatial data, so called derived data. They were claiming ownership over any dots produced on a map, becuase the underlying map was theirs.
Though this only applies down to the 10K mapping, it could potentially bring costs down for loads of small businesses.
