-                        The postcode database - which turns a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UK_postcodes">postcode</a> to a 
-                        latitude/longitude and back - is not free in the UK. In fact, it's very expensive. The 
-                        <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Mail">Post Office</a> owns it and sells it to various companies that make 
-                        use of it for things like insurance or parcel tracking. There are however many people who'd like to use it for 
-                        non-profit purposes. Say you want to lay out events like free concerts / gigs on a map and you only have the postcode... 
-                        you have to buy the database.

-      <p>                       Instead, wouldn't it be nice if it was free like zipcodes are in the US? To do this, you have to have a number of people 
-      collaborating with GPS units who note positions and postcodes. Hence this site to collect that data.

         <strong>Update 2010-05-10: <a href="http://www.freepostcodes.org.uk/">Post code data from OS now freed</a></strong></p>
+      <p>
+        <strong>Update 2016-12-02</strong>New submissions are no longer being accepted on this site. The data will be available for another view weeks at least, but there is no ongoing maintenance. The freethepostcode.org domain has been transferred to the OSM Foundation and so the project in the future be revived by them.
