I can't see any difference on the page suggested whether I turn links on or
off?!?

Dave,

"For the trial we're linking to our own content as well as relevant
external sources, including Wikipedia articles, YouTube and Flickr
content. We wanted to include these sources because they promote
sharing of content"


The BBC could of course just buy Wikipedia ;-)

More seriously, if this is the intention, then if I make my site clearly CC
will the BBC promise to link to it?
 



What else could the BBC do to promote sharing of content? License some
of the work for which it is the sole copyright holder as... sharable?
Per chance?

:-)

Best,
Dave
