No simple download file ?

Instead of using this app, can I now just download a full sql dump ? Sheesh ! Open data ffs ! 

Confused

I recently opted to use the Geocoder from Googlemaps based on the fact that I couldnt' find any real documentation on the allowed uses of the UK Postcode Data. All online references seem to suggest the same - that the data may not be queried as part of any application carrying out postcode to longitude and latitude conversion. Has something changed with this and have OS now given up the copyright to this data or they simply allowing people to build apps based on the data with the intention of taking legal action against them in the future?

Coverage of UK Postcodes

Does not seem to include Northern Ireland so should be called GB Postcodes, NOT UK Postcodes

Re: Coverage of UK Postcodes

I wasn't aware that it didn't contain NI data when I bought the domain. However, I have found this source of data, which I'm happy to add, but not sure of licensing constraints:

http://www.nisra.gov.uk/geography/default.asp6.htm

Northern Ireland Postcodes

The NISRA postcode data for Northern Ireland is freely re-usable under the Click Use PSI Licence. I've made the data available as a single CSV here

another source for NI

you can find a download of all UK postcodes including northern ireland at http://www.freemaptools.com/download-uk-postcode-lat-lng.htm

However:
a) there is no statement of licensing conditions and
b) the data is only to postcode district i.e. "outward code" level
