There's also the argument that "due to the unique way the BBC is funded" some of their content *should* be more available to the public
One problem is their funding can be interpreted as meaning the content should only be made available to the public _in the UK_. Which led to the strange "UK only licence" at http://www.bbc.co.uk/creativearchive/licence/index.shtml http://www.bbc.co.uk/virtualrevolution/licences/digitalrevolution_licence.sh... is a second example of them making up their own license. They have also released some things under a real Creative Commons license, but as far as I know, only ever one of the "non-commercial" ones. eg http://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/13946
