Of course they (O.S.) do.  A mashup is a shop window that lures 
users to buy/license geodata from the O.S.  If people are starting 
to flock around the window, they will pull the curtain and begin 
to charge per view.  They're not starting to release any data into 
the free and open.  Exactly why the OGC is part of this, beats me.
