Will they allow all the UK guides who want access from one account? I
doubt it, given the comments in the terms of use about restrictions by
IP address. It's also a bit steep even for clubbing together (what
happened about the trademark application, OOI?)

If we want to use them I think my first step would be to contact them
and explain what we are to see whether they would like to donate us
access. But I'd be very wary of being tied down by terms of use in this
case (eg prohibition of commercial use).

As a sidenote, I'm looking at integrating Free The Postcode geolocation
into OpenGuides.

Dominic.
