Copyright is a problem. It is one that a local development body hit when they wanted to put a report of mine online. The problem is not only caused by OS maps, but satellite/aerial shots and some historic images. It is unreasonable to demand vast reproduction fees when a report is being made available free, and particularly when the images in question are long out of copyright. But it may be necessary to remove certain images to spare you problems.
