My knowledge of copyright law is limited, but
surely if the BBC

still own the copyright to the photograph?
Probably.
In the US, this doesn't apply. In the UK... it probably does, but
there isn't much recent caselaw AIUI and if someone took it to court
it could potentially go either way. I'd bet on the court ruling for
them retaining the rights, though.
