I just knew that as soon as I posted that we'd open this up, it would kick off a discussion about what licence we'd use. How marvellously progressive of this list to get bogged down in licences... (grin)
While I cannot, at this stage, confirm the licence we would be using, it is my expectation that we would not use "an in-house licence" as has been claimed above. I would point out that the open source projects at www.bbc.co.uk/opensource use a variety of different licences, explained at http://www.bbc.co.uk/opensource/licensing.shtml and I would expect us to follow this. None of those projects use an in-house licence. I should also add that we have no current wish to place any DRM on this code, so you've no excuse to twist this conversation that way either; and that I've also not mentioned anything in this post about the number of GNU/Linux users we have or anything about the iPlayer. I know this is a disappointment to many, but that's just the way it goes. ;) -- James Cridland | Head of Future Media & Technology, BBC Audio & Music Interactive Room 718 | Henry Wood House | 3-6 Langham Place | London W1B 3DF http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio | http://www.bbc.co.uk/music | http://www.bbc.co.uk/digitalradio
