And was anybody asking the BBC about the use of Open Standards?
The main problem in the discussions I had was there wasn't a whole lot we could do for each other, except convince the BBC to release something - ANYTHING - under a proper free licence. This was almost impossible, for various obvious and stupid reasons.
Reasons such as this? http://www.bbc.co.uk/creativearchive/licence/full_licence.shtml
Nothing so specific. The main problem was that no-one could work out how to get an actual free content license past the lawyers. We're talking about an industry where CC by-nc-nd counts as radical openness.
