Hi all

There does seem to be some disagreement as to whether copyright is actually an issue in the case of the list of 100 women. I will be doing quite a lot of follow up with the BBC over the next few weeks so am happy to add this to my list of things to discuss, however I will try to seek legal clarity on this question first.

Thanks
Lucy

I have often observed how the BBC did not adopt a standard Creative
Commons licence but developed their own (as a result of the massive
pressure of rights).

So, don't hold your breath!
