Thanks and yeah, some of my boundary data (for the choropleth) comes from ONS open boundary files which I think are OGL but I'd need to check the chain of derivation. On the data.gov.uk standardisation, I've seen it but last I looked it was policy and boundaries, not actual decisions. Has that changed? If they're publishing decisions under OGL I'd gladly ditch the scraping for a proper feed.
On licensing more generally... I haven't fully nailed it down. Showing aggregates and pointing back to source, but yeah there's a gap between data is public and do whatever you want with it commercially.
