The frequently asked questions are separated in to two sections, one for the Land Cover data from CEH and the other for the Dudley Stamp Land Utilisation Survey data:
Owing to improvements in satellite mapping technology and data collection methods, comparisons of the 1990, 2000 and 2007 datasets to detect change over time must be treated with caution. Many changes appear because of the improvements in the methodologies used to create the data and do not necessarily reflect actual change on the ground.
You may use these data as part of publications according to the stipulations given in Section 3.1 of the End User licence Agreement. You are responsible for checking the whether or not you are permitted to use the data in any specific publication or type of publication, including section 4.1 regarding the restrictions on what you can do with the data. But, broadly speaking, you may publish maps showing the CEH data in academic journals or on websites. You should also check the End User Licence Agreement specifically for the acknowledgements which must accompany any publication.
Clause 3.1.11 of the End User Licence Agreement says that you may publish maps of the data on the website of your Authorised Institution or websites created as part of a course or project.
Clause 3.1.5 of the End User Licence Agreement says that you may, for Educational Purposes only, incorporate parts of the Licensed Work in printed and non-manipulable (e.g. locked .PDF file) electronic course packs, study packs and course notes hosted on a Secure Network, virtual learning environments, managed learning environments and multi-media works. It is your responsibility to ensure that each item carries the appropriate copyright notice and/or acknowledgements as listed in Appendix 1b of the End User Licence Agreement. Course packs in non-electronic non-print perceptible form, such as Braille, may also be offered to Authorised Users.

If your Authorised Institution’s library has an online repository, you may deposit your research here. Note that this is still subject to the restrictions given in Clause 4.1 of the End User Licence Agreement, which you should check.
Yes. Clause 3.1.8 of the End User Licence Agreement permits you to publicly display or publicly perform parts of the Licensed Work as part of a presentation at a seminar, conference, or workshop, or other such similar activity.

You are only licensed to use these data for the period you qualify as an Authorised User. The definition of Authorised User is given in the End User Licence Agreement.

All notices and acknowledgements which must accompany the publication of any images from these data are given in Appendix 1b of the End User Licence Agreement and vary depending which dataset has been used. Note that you may need to include more than one notice or acknowledgement.
"Free of charge" should not be confused with "Open Source". The data themselves are free of charge, although still subject to the terms of the End User Licence Agreement. This does not make them "open source". The subscription fee paid by your institution, which provides you with access to these data via Digimap, covers the cost of providing the service. It is not a fee for the data. The same data may be available from other sources but may also be subject to a data processing or delivery fee.
Each edition of the CEH Land Cover Map data has a different copyright statement and list of required acknowledgements. Please see the Copyright and Acknowledgements page for full details.
No, at the moment the Land Use maps can only be viewed on screen or printed locally.
If you incorporate the data within your own work the following acknowledgement should be cited:

The maps show in the Land Use Map Viewer have been scanned from paper maps. Where the edges of these paper maps has been distorted due to wear and tear there will be gaps. Warping in the paper maps will lead to discontinuities between features which appear at the edges of map sheets. Since the maps have been sourced from multiple source collections and these collections may have stored the original paper maps under different conditions there are bound to be changes in the condition of the maps.
