As others have already pointed out, the Ordnance Survey data set
Code-Point open is an open-licensed postcode database derived from
offical government data, and largely removes the need for separate
efforts such as Free The Postcode (although it's possible that some
purists still consider a public domain collection effort as worthwhile).
Therefore I am unlikely to continue development with freethepostcode.org
or freepostcodes.org.uk but have put up a mirror of the Code-Point open
data and links to the offical source.
I note that someone has already put up a geocoder at
http://www.uk-postcodes.com/
which may be of interest to those on the list; it would be interesting
if they could post their methods/code for free reuse.
Dominic.
