Presumably those are more likely to be created/sponsored by a company (ie the hardware manufacturer) who could go along the closed/open mix method (if the OS software allowed it and the BBC license allowed it too) The costs would be interesting though - for a small company interested in starting in the market a few hundred pounds would be fine (but that would probably exclude most home users), but tens of thousands would be a much bigger problem. - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
