Well I think its a really good petition, especially when you count BBC’s article and it’s quote “According to Royal Mail’s latest figures, this has more than doubled over the past year to £6.8bn, and it warned that a fresh valuation scheduled for later in 2009 could record an even higher figure.”

Another highlight for me is the strong wording about Open Source in para 3.28 – OS will build INSPIRE data services using free software, and its work will be “offered back to the community”.

Another (para 3.15) is that OS plans to release the TOID object identifier scheme free to reuse, with Linked Data applications in mind. So sites which do have access to MasterMap will be able to share links to geometries.

Thanks for your now wonderfully redundant work
