Yes its pretty much what everyone has said already.
Once your finished or get to release, just ping me or the backstage list a
email and I'll write up a blog post if its a good prototype

Subject: RE: [backstage] Traffic Feed Android App Idea
Backstage prototypes and applications have to attribute their use of
data as "supported by backstage.bbc.co.uk" as part of the agreement, and they
are subject to the same rules about personal, non-commercial use.

When I was developing iplayerconverter a couple of years ago I
was basically told the following:
1. You must have the phrase "supported by backstage.bbc.co.uk"
somewhere, which should link to the Backstage T&Cs page (not sure how that
would apply for a mobile app - your idea of putting it on the about screen
sounds sensible)
2. You can have generic ads (I use Google Adsense) so long as
they aren't inappropriate (so no porn ads or suchlike) or too intrusive.
3. You can't make a significant profit from or charge for
access to BBC content. So basically ads are for covering running costs and not
making your fortune.
4. You can't use BBC logos or other branding (such as channel
logos) without signing a separate branding agreement (unfortunately the
branding agreement then specifically forbids you from running ads on the same
page as BBC branding)
Not sure if this is still the case - time for the voice from on
high to clarify the current licensing situation perhaps?

Subject: [backstage] Traffic Feed Android App Idea
Hi,
I am building an Android App to display BBC TPEG traffic and
public transport data. The app will be free, but I want to put generic adverts
at the bottom of the screen (provided by Admob). I will put an acknowledgement
to BBC Backstage in my about screen. The Backstage website has alot of info
about including feeds in websites, but not apps. I just want to make sure I am
not breaking any TOC, by releasing the app to the Android market.
PS How do you submit prototypes that are apps not websites on
the BBC backstage website ?
Regards M Piggott
