I read this story on Newsforge, the imminence of this (expected THIS 
fall) makes it really something. The material is of such a quality, the 
breath of their data, the pictures alone, this is really big news ! As 
the article says, openining up this content to the public, will make the 
British culture much more important.

The license they will use will be the Creative Commons license.
