It seems that software freedom is very much one of the core issues that BBC Backstage tackles. Many of the Backstage podcasts have focused on the BBC's policy that Digital Restrictions Management technology is effective and appropriate, for example. The list owners set up a "pure technical discussion" list for people not interested in the social and political issues that Backstage is tackling. -- Regards, Dave (Personal opinion only, doesn't not reflect any employers policies or views) - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
