If only that were so!

To reproduce OS maps you have to PAY for a licence,

You can have up to 10 images free from their Get-a-map service for use
on web pages, or 10 copies for personal, non-commercial use.

state on each reproduction:

"Reproduced by kind permission of H.M.Stationery Office"

However the acknowledgement required is rather more long-winded than
this.
