Right, but that's irrelevant to my point. That simply means that those
organisations have to put the effort in to promoting disability equality, it

a few correspondents have mentioned the use of stock photographs.
People with Learning Disabilities benefit from consistency and many
learn an alphabet of images. Some start with photographs of concrete
objects and then move on to symbol libraries.

Generally the images don't belong to the BBC per se, so they can't re-
distribute them.
Besides, you'd have to question the relevance of the thumbnail images

Hi Guys,
I am always interested in the copyright issues that arrive in this
discussion from time to time.
Regarding the BBC, has anyone thought to ask their lawyers to simply
put a clause in to their
own license contract agreement?
At least then one would be able to make informed decisions

Graeme,
they are proprietary, and this is a huge issue in respect of the web.
The fact is that Widgit create the symbols in SVG but distribute in
other formats.
similarly the symbols on web pages are awkward eg large gifs covering
a number of symbols, or with peculiar names.
Unfortunately
David,
there are some pretty fundamental differences... you might also want
to look at Makaton and PCS
also there is the Concept Coding Framework, which is a proposed means
of translating between symbol languages.

But perhaps thumbnail graphics aren't the way to go - wouldn't a dedicated news feed that was written in plainer English be more useful, users would then be able to choose stories from that feed and then have the full versions read outto them ?
Clearer news summaries would better all round.
