CC-BY-SA-NC isn't a bad license. I know we strongly prefer licenses that allow commericial use (and need them if we're going to use the content on Wikimedia projects), but if -NC is the best we can get we should be trying to encourage it. Is there any way we can revive the 2006 proposal?
PS Having just looked at that link, there is a "UK only" clause. I don't think we could live with that... (I understand why it is there - the BBC makes a lot of money selling its content overseas - but geographic limits are highly impractical.)

Looks like the BBC are now starting to use goodly amounts of open content. One that's caught my eye is a piece on the seige of Sarajevo, part of which is CC-BY-SA licenced, at http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-17617775.
Have we ever gotten any video of theirs released by them, not just examples of them using others' open content?
(IME the BBC is roughly divided between "free it all!" and "that's impossible!" with the latter in control.)
