In previous discussions about this back in July there was some concern about the lack of license headers in the code. This has taken us a while to resolve to our satisfaction as there are a small number of files licensed under a different license to the main code base, and we wanted to make sure we covered that correctly.</div><div><br></div><div>We believe this is now done, and so we'd like to revisit our request!</div><div><br></div><div>As a reminder, Loader was developed by my colleague at Astun Technology, Matt Walker, as a high-performance python wrapper around ogr2ogr, for primarily loading large quantities of Ordnance Survey Mastermap data into postgreSQL (or other formats).
