Hi Ben, thanks for the prompt answer, is there o chance you could even give me old data from last season (or before), that would be of no use to anyone else? Afterall does the feed supplier care what happened during the last nintey minutes of a couple of seasons ago? Also a quick reply about Intellectual Property, I realise that I didn't need to let the BBC use any works I created (or will create), but would be happy too aslong ase it reamained free (as in freedom http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html)

Thanks.
Vijay.

Hello Vijay,

 

Unfortunately we are not providing sports scores data via backstage.bbc.co.uk.  This is due to contractual issues with our feed supplier which we are looking to resolve.

 

Just a quick point on the latter part of your email: the Intellectual Property of the projects build via backstage.bbc.co.uk remain with the person(s) who originally built them (although the data supplied remains copyright of the BBC).  It's something I'm quite keen to stress -- there is no requirement for anyone on backstage to give us rights to their work (unless they want to).

Subject: [backstage] A request

Hi all, I'm new too the the backstage mailing list, but it seems to be the appropriate place to make a request to use BBC content for my final year degree project. What I would like to use are the sports scores feeds that power the football live videprinter and cricket latest scores (if such feeds exist). I need these to create a goal alert application and once that is completed a wicket & run alert system. Of course if I am successful I can integrate other sports, and let the BBC use it to supply this information too its users.

Thanks
Vijay.
